Ark on the Edge was formed many years ago but has only been known by its name since 2000.  Word of mouth has been its main advertisement for the successful and committed rehoming of animals, or in some cases the animal just has a sanctuary for life.

In May of 2005 we moved to Woolley Hill Farm, Woodland, just a couple of miles down the road from where we were.  The property, situated well away from the main road, set in 40 acres, meant that there was no immediate danger to the animals or visitors.

We are now working towards making great use of a Wildlife Education Centre as well as the rescue/sanctuary.  We are wishing to attract schools and other educational establishments to bring the children to come and see the animals, take part in a nature trail - there is a bridle way from the farm to Eggleston.  Also the centre can provide facilities for birthday parties where the children can see and touch the animals,  play in the straw and hay, along with the prospect of a birthday tea.
