Wild
Britain is an important County Wildlife Site and Urchin’s trial
snakes around one of the traditional hay meadows, which is alive
with wildflowers, insects and other animals.
The
trail follows the adventures of a little hedgehog called Urchin.
As you discover what happens to Urchin, you can build a shelter,
race against time to spot local wildlife, take cover in the
woodman's hut and play interactive games to see how much you
know about Urchin and his friends.
Around
the trail, Oak, ash, field maple and wild cherry trees are
growing into a small wood. Hazel, wayfarer, guelder rose and
hawthorn have been planted to provide scrub for birds, rabbits
and muntjac deer. A few
log piles have been allowed to rot down, these provide shelter for
robins and wrens, and are an important habitat for many insects.
Ponds
are also very important to wildlife, and Urchin’s pond is a
breeding site for dragonflies and newts. |
