Habitats

Question: where does it live?

As part of our WASP Activity Day in May 2009 we mapped the following habitats in the school grounds:

hedgerow
ditch
mown area
meadow
woodland
orchard
wetland
pond
stream

The various plant species and their abundance in each habitat was recorded using Spotter Charts.

We plan to conduct various experiments to show the importance of habitats to different species.

We planted a new garden to introduce more plants to encourage wildlife - see the Wildlife Garden page. At the end of May we had Painted Lady butterflies visit all the way from Africa - see report on the WASP blog.
