Murton Farm and Wildlife trust




http://www.murtonwildlife.org.uk/

Murton Wildlife Trust is a charitable organisation, it's an important educational centre that is open to the public. It provides land-based education to children and young people, especially those young adults who do not thrive in the classroom situation. The experience these young people gain gives them work based skills and social skills in preparation for gaining employment. Many of the young people from our school go there regularly, sometimes full time, sometimes part time.
As well as being an educational center its also open to the public. My grandson is ten and my friends son is 8, we took them both there while I had my grandson staying. They had a wonderful time and were particularly impressed with the ferrets.

    thanks, we all had a great day, every thing just fell into place, we arrived and it was a bit overcast, we ate in the little tea room and by the time we finished it was lovely and sunny. we walked all around and just as we were nearing the end, it began raining again. That very nice man with the ferrets offered to get them out and let the boys handle them, my automatic response was... NO THANKS..... but I stepped back and the lads had a great time.

    these are tiny, they are quail, which is game bird but a delicacy, mostly bred for quail eggs.

    It's good to see pigs happy in a nice paddock. Most pigs I've ever seen have been in factory situations. These guys must have a great life.
