A softwood deck treated with an environmentally friendly pressure treatment is providing a safe haven for sea lions at Whipsnade Wild Animal Park, Dunstable.
Barclay, a one-ton bull sea lion, and his mates had been picking up splinters from their original hardwood deck which had seen many years service.
Finnforest UK came to the rescue as part of its ongoing programme of support for community initiatives and supplied 30x20m of PEFC certified decking.
