At Wilderness Woodend, we are creating a lasting legacy for wildlife, conservation, and education in North Canterbury. Our park provides a permanent home for many animals, including those in need of rehoming, while also supporting carefully managed breeding programmes for both native and exotic species. Through conservation, education, and responsible animal care, we strive to inspire a greater appreciation for wildlife and the natural world. Every enclosure, habitat, and conservation project we develop is built with the future in mind — providing safe, enriching environments for animals while creating unique opportunities for visitors to connect with nature. As a privately funded wildlife park, community support plays a vital role in helping us continue our work. Whether you choose to donate, sponsor a project, or simply visit the park, you are helping us provide exceptional care for our animals and build something truly special for future generations.

Your donation goes directly towards feeding our residents, veterinary supplies and health care, ongoing habitat maintenance, and construction of further habitats.

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a real difference to the animals in our care.
