Extra Features on the Nature Trail!

The nature trail has been developing over the last few weeks. We have now  installed the Naturalist’s Den, complete with natural history displays and fun facts and figures. Around the den are new features designed to  promote and sustain wildlife on the site, including a hedgehog nest,  beetle habitat, as well as bat and bird boxes in the surrounding trees.  More is planned for this area soon.
