Feeding farm animals in the City Center!
Get an introduction to animal farm Dierenhof! Come see the farm, and potentially sign up to become a regular volunteer! Spend your afternoon with cute farm animals.
Important note: This session is merely an introduction, after which you can decide if you wish to come volunteer regularly. However, when you sign up to volunteer after the introduction, you are expected to come help out at the animal farm once every week or every two weeks :)
This event:
Every day of the week, lovely volunteers from all around Rotterdam come to take care of farm animals! In the middle of the Wijkpark, near Gouvernedwarsstraat, lies the Dierenhof (Animal Court). The Dierenhof resembles a mini petting zoo, where local residents can interact with nature and animals. As a volunteer, you will help feed animals and guide visitors around the farm.
The organiser:
The Dierenhof is run entirely by volunteers, a group of more than 20 volunteers from the Netherlands and abroad. Volunteers care for the chickens, goats, sheep, guinea pigs, rabbits, and cats 7 days a week. They also ensure everything around the Dierenhof is taken care of: regular veterinary checkups; orders for hay, straw, and feed, among other things; manure removal; and a filled litter tray.
