Chestnuts for the zoo: The big autumn fruit collecting marathon!
Chestnuts for the zoo: The big autumn fruit collecting marathon!
in Neustrelitz, in the Mecklenburg Lake District district, there is an exciting collection for autumn fruits that will soon come to an end. Both chestnuts and acorns in the zoo can be handed over by Sunday. The organizers are enthusiastic about the previous response and report that almost ten tons of chestnuts and five tons have been collected. Such initiatives are not only important for the nutrition of animals in the zoo, but also help to reduce feed costs.
The fruits collected are inserted into Salzlake, a procedure that is used for a long time to durable food. This procedure enables the autumn fruits to be available during the colder months when fresh food is scarce. Some animal species in particular benefit from this feeding method, which makes the winter months more bearable.
opening times and purchase options
The zoo Neustrelitz is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and offers visitors the opportunity not only to see the animals, but also to help actively. On Saturday, a similar campaign will also take place in the Ivenacker Tiergarten near Stavenhagen, in which chestnuts and acorns can also be bought. Between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., interested parties can hand over their collected fruits against a small fee.
The success of this collection shows how important the cooperation between the animal gardens and the population is. Such joint efforts ensure that the animals are well cared for in the cold season. Those responsible encourage everyone who are not yet involved to hand over their collected autumn fruits to use these valuable resources and help the animals. This action is an excellent example of the connection between nature conservation and animal welfare, which is promoted by the introduction of local Fresh Produce.
