Shepreth Wildlife Park in Cambridgeshire has launched a new interactive conservation hub designed to engage young visitors in learning about nature. The hub features an array of interactive screens and projections, including a unique erupting volcano display. Rebecca Willers, the park's director, expressed excitement about this innovative approach to conservation education, stating, "We are so excited to have this different way of bringing children to the wildlife park and getting them to leave with a message." The project was funded by the South Cambridgeshire District Council's Rural England Prosperity Fund, supporting the Shepreth Wildlife Conservation Charity (SWCC), which has been active since 2011. The hub includes two main areas: Wild Play, which offers three interactive activities such as a projection sandbox, and The Hive, which features a 6ft touchscreen for conservation games. Willers noted that the idea for the hub had been in discussion for about eight years, marking a significant milestone for the charity, which also runs a hedgehog hospital. The charity is currently seeking volunteers to assist with operations and engage visitors in discussions about conservation and nature.
