The work was also interesting and we felt safe in a hazardous environment. The staff from BITE where very approachable, knowledge and, for some of us who were anxious, were able to put our minds to ease. The introductory be-brief was really cool, like a military operation with the 3D animation and highlighting of specific components. Overall really impressed with the experience. When I was young I used to volunteer at the zoo back when it was Sparkwell Wildlife park and this was so much better than what we did back in the 80's and 90's. I want to do more work at the Zoo now as a result of this experience.Read more
