Access to Nature
Applications for funded education and community visits for 2026 are now closed.
If you'd like to apply for a visit next year, please visit this page again in January 2027.
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to access nature.
However, we know that many groups face barriers to accessing green spaces and wildlife.
Access to Nature aims to remove these barriers, ensuring Bristol Zoo Project is truly accessible and inclusive for all.
Through Community Membership, or through our Funded Education and Community visits, we offer year-round access to the wildlife and green spaces here at Bristol Zoo Project. In this way we ensure nature, both locally and globally, is accessible and inspiring for everyone in our community.
Our Access to Nature programme is funded with huge thanks to the generous donations and grants we have received, for which we are extremely grateful. We would like to give a special mention to The Nisbet Trust and Toyota for their very generous support which provides funded educational visits for school children.
