Learning

The aim of Camperdown Wildlife Centre's education programme is to supply the highest standard of zoological education to visitors using every possible resource that is available to education staff. The programmes available reflect the current zoological conservation and preservation aims as guided by British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). Education lessons will in most cases be guided by the outlines of the current national curriculum and attainment levels required for each student age group.

Camperdown Wildlife Centre has put together the education series 'wild about learning'.
