Colchester Zoo is constantly evolving to ensure our world class level of commitment to our animals.
In an exciting new development Colchester Zoo has recently acquired 1.2 hectares of land to the south of the zoo site. Colchester Zoo aims to manage this land as a conservation area, enabling visitors to see a range of native wildlife species and highlighting local conservation issues. Colchester Zoo have been collaborating with the Essex Biodiversity Project to design a nature trail around this site, running through the riverside marshland and providing close up views of the Roman River.
