Wildlife Champions
Wildlife champions are taking actions across Chester, Ellesmere Port and the surrounding areas, creating and maintaining spaces for wildlife whilst connecting communities to their outdoor spaces.
Wildlife Champions are people who make a real difference for UK wildlife in our communities. They are connected to community groups, schools, friends of groups and more!
To build confidence in delivering community activities for wildlife, Chester Zoo run a course with Wildlife Champions which shares knowledge about wildlife, habitats and engaging with the wider community. Champions take this knowledge back to their groups and continue to create fantastic spaces for wildlife and people.
We also support a network of Wildlife Champions to continue to connect with each other. They share knowledge, experiences and resources with each other to form a real Network for Nature.

Connecting the network
Wildlife Champions do not register as Chester Zoo volunteers but rather manage themselves in their own settings. We invite Wildlife Champions to join a network where they support each other in creating thriving ecosystems for wildlife. Wildlife Champions can attend in-person networking event, practical conservation skills sessions, join and online network and gain support and advice from contacts at Chester Zoo.
