Everyone say hi to our new Head Volunteer, Jess!

You may already recognise Jess, as she has been volunteering here at Kent Owl Academy for the past 2½ years. During that time, she has helped host experience days and flying displays while continuing to grow her own knowledge and experience with our birds.

We’re so excited to see her step into this senior role. Congratulations, Jess! 🎉
