Update - 21st October 2022 : It is always a good day when the Animal Care Team return the rescued seal pups back to the wild where they belong, but at the same time it is a bit emotional saying goodbye after being with them for three months or more. Applewood, along with Blue Cheese Wensleydale, Camembert and Brie, were released back into the wild on 19th October 2022.
