Hanwell Zoo

@DrAyshaRaza You're very welcome anytime.

@HanwellZoo Thank you for inviting me along today, I learned loads! Looking forward to catching up with you all soon.

Our Direction Board planting trees to improve habitats at Brent Lodge in hopes of reintroducing the extirpated water vole. They were keen to talk about their incredible work with Cllr @DrAyshaRaza and how they've been taking youth equity and agency to a national level.

Our director Louise Archer and @SpelaGodec have been working with @STEMLearningUK & @STEMAmbassadors and we produced a summary of how #EquityCompass can help #STEMAmbassadors develop more equitable practice ⬇️⬇️⬇️ yestem.org/wp-content/upl…

Representation is key in empowering young people. Here's to our scientists who are inspiring the next generation everyday! #InternationalWomensDay

It's true. We are a terrible ice-cream parlour! 🍦🐒💩

Review of Hanwell Zoo. Helpful.

Many marmoset and tamarin species enjoy eating tree sap. To simulate natural behaviours, our keepers ensure our silvery marmosets have lots of opportunities to enjoy their favourite gum. 🐵💚🌴

It's a great time of year to visit our birds, especially the waterfowl, peafowl and flamingos. As they gear up for breeding season, the are at their most active and attractive! 💚💚💚

Here is a short film about how the @HanwellZoo team and their youth Direction Board have been using the #EquityCompass 📽️ mediacentral.ucl.ac.uk/Play/78652

Hanwell Zoo's @BeauJensen, Conservationist and Educator, has written a blog for UCL's @YESTEM_UK about his equitable practices at @HanwellZoo and how being a part of the YESTEM research project has benefitted him and the 1000's of young learners from Ealing he teaches each year.

Over 20 species spotted on the Hanwell Zoo Direction Boards' trail cameras this week. Be sure to follow the Direction Boards insta for videos and updates! instagram.com/hanwellzoodire…

Due to the weather, we've made the decision to close the zoo on Friday 18th 2022 to ensure the safety of our beloved animals and our visitors. If you have tickets booked for this day, they can be used on other dates when we reopen. Check here for updates. Stay safe. X
