I chose Corbin wildlife park to come and volunteer in as I am passionate about nature in all it's forms, animals and plants alike. I started my first day overcome with emotion when faced with the natural beauty of this place. As a gardener myself I am simply astounded at what Roy,Ian and lynni have achieved here in such a short space of time, a cleared pathway in this climate has vegetation encroaching heavily within a week, so on the early morning breakfast feed a machete will be in one hand keeping pathways cleared while buckets of fruit are distributed amongst the many lucky animals and birds... Ponds full of bright blue water lilies which open at midday replace the deep pink flowers that are closing and so a constant rhythm of colour and life is moving through the forest. The Corbin teams knowledge and dedication is impressive, the animals are in the most natural environment they can be, while breeding or simply experiencing an alternative to being a 'pet' in captivity. Corbin is dedicated to reintroducing lost and endangered species to the island while making their visitors appreciative of the intimate secrets of both the animals and the plant life around them, do make the effort to come and visit, it's a total treat for the senses and Roy's tour will fill you with information to inspire.....
