Rewilding

The Habitat Group have just completed the second of four water vole releases into the River Gara.

There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to the unassuming water vole, a chestnut-brown, semi-aquatic creature that might invoke a pang of nostalgia for those raised on Winds in the Willow stories.

May is a great month for thinking about the wildlife in your nearby natural spaces, from gardens to verges, with No Mow May, World Bee Day, Garden Wildlife Week and upcoming Let it Bloom June.
