Tortoise takeover 2023

Durrell is synonymous with Jersey and the community for which we provide essential connectivity, which is why we were proud to be a presenting partner of their 2023 Sculpture Trail.

Durrell's Tortoise Takeover has captured the imagination of every islander this summer and has provided a wonderful story for those visiting our beautiful island.

The trail is now over. The 50 giant tortoises that were spread throughout the island during the summer went under the hammer at an auction in September and raised an amazing £720,500 for Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.
