FONTHILL ESTATE WILDLIFE
WHERE ARE YOU
From this map you can see exactly where you are on the Fonthill Estate and which footpath you are using. Please help us in our efforts to protect and encourage the wildlife on the Estate by keeping dogs on leads, sticking to the designated paths and taking all litter home with you.
​
We have lots of ground nesting species currently on the Estate, therefore it is vital that dogs stay under control so as to not disturb or kill these animals.
​
Thank you.

The Autumn sown bumble bird mix is created through a seed mix containing at least 6 flower species and 6 seed bearing crops, together they provides important food resources for farmland birds, such as tree sparrow and corn bunting. This mix also benefits a range of nectar feeding insects, including butterflies, solitary bees, hoverflies and bumblebees who use this mix as their key source of nectar from early to late summer.
