Animal Husbandry

It’s important to know that you can be relied upon, so taking care of the animals at Walton Gardens is hugely important to our learners. Every aspect of the care process learned with the guidance of expert rangers teaches them important skills.

What foods are needed, what quantities are appropriate, and what shelter and bedding are suitable for different animals? All these considerations require learning, memory and decision-making.

They develop a sense of responsibility and organisation in our learners. The gratitude that the animals show is unqualified and creates a bond with our learners that gives them a sense of pride, purpose and vastly raised self-esteem.
