    Tree waste for animals
    I don't know if this post is allowed, but I am hoping to reach out to local tree surgeons in London. Our animals at London Zoo goes through a lot of browse (a zoo term for leafy branches) all year round. It is getting harder and harder to obtain good quality material and logistics are always a challenge.
    I know that tree surgeons always have challenges getting rid of their waste. If you are interested in collaborating, perhaps we can help each other out?
    Due to a complex mix of plant toxicity, bio hazards and plant diseases, there is a restriction to what species and type of material we can take (please see list below). If you then get a job through that you know will produce a reasonable amount of leafy greens, get in contact and depending on the location, we will be able to come and collect directly from you on the day.
    Get in touch on [email protected] if you wish to hear more.
