Biodiversity

Biodiversity simply means the variety of life. It includes all living things from the smallest flea to the biggest tree.

 

You will see biodiversity everywhere in the Vale: in town gardens and window boxes, woods, roadsides, open countryside, rivers and coast.

 

The Vale supports a rich and varied wildlife: hedgerows, woodlands, river valleys and coast shape our landscape and provide food and habitat for mammals and birds.
