Art trail celebrates arrival of black bears at Jersey Zoo

It is hoped the sculptures will then be sold a fundraising auction at the end of the summer.

Rebecca Brewer, chief executive of Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, said: “We want everyone who connects with our work, whether at Jersey Zoo or through our conservation projects around the world, to feel they can make a difference for nature.

“Our public art trails are a wonderful way to bring that belief to life.”

She said previous Go Wild Gorillas and Tortoise Takeover trails “brought so much joy to Jersey, encouraging people to explore parts of the island they might never have visited, walk new paths, meet new people and create lasting memories”.

An auction of the 54 tortoise sculptures raised £720,000 for a new tropical house.
