adoption charity Families for Children will each receive £175 to help them continue their work with children and animals in the area. The children enjoyed a ‘Touch and
Tell’ session with animals from Dartmoor Zoo and their keepers; got up close and personal with birds from the Devon Birds of Prey Centre; hunted for bugs in the natural habitat of the park with the Stover rangers; touched and smelled different herbs at a Herb Planting Workshop with L-Amour Botanique; and had their faces painted as pirates, super heroes and animals. Sarah Thomas, charity organiser at
Wood’s Estate Agents and Auctioneers, said, “The day was brilliant, everyone had loads of fun and thoroughly enjoyed the buffet picnic while talking about their day and sharing tales of their animal adventures. We’re pleased that so many children came along, that it didn’t rain and to have raised £350 for the charities.”
