They are home to many species and provide a massive benefit to a wide range of insects, including pollinators and, in turn, the wildlife that feeds upon them.</p><p>Join The Donkey Sanctuary’s Conservation Team to hear how we are exploring ways in which donkeys can help us manage our habitats, and in turn benefit from living in an enriched environment.</p><h3>Tickets</h3><p>Tickets cost £18.50 +booking fee, including the two-course lunch and conservation talk.
