Our Animals
There are so many benefits to being around and caring for animals – and we have an abundance here at The Firs!
We have resident goats and sheep in our petting area and they provide us with lots of love and fun as well a valuable way to learn about care, feeding and the environment. We encourage young people with special needs to come in and take up work experience, looking after our livestock and gaining life skills and confidence in the process.
It doesn’t end there – our aviary alongside the sensory garden is home to finches, budgerigars, cockatiels and quails, we have guinea pigs, ducks and chickens providing us with delicious free-range eggs, and this year we proudly hatched our first ducklings.
