Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm becomes a charity
Owners of Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm promise the “start of a new era” as the attraction receives charitable status for the first time.
Zoo founders Anthony and Christina Bush were dairy farmers for 40 years before selling the cattle herd and starting the new animal attraction on their land near Wraxall.
The zoo is now run by the couple’s son, Larry Bush, who has been leading the transition to the business becoming a charity for the past three years.
is needed now More than ever
Larry Bush said: “The gaining of charity status will be hugely beneficial for the long-term future of the zoo, its conservation and education programmes, its visitors, the community and staff.
“Visitors can also enjoy the knowledge that their admission directly funds the vital conservation work of the charity in the UK and around the world.”

Bush added: “Connecting with nature, getting up close to animals, learning in fun and immersive ways and enjoying play together.
“These all improve your wellbeing. We see this as an exciting aim of our charity and we’re looking to find even more ways to benefit our visitors and our local community. We feel strongly that this naturally compliments our conservation and education aims.”
To mark becoming a charity, the zoo has opened a new exhibition about their story, the aims of the charity and its hopes for the future.
