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.

4M-6M BUFFER STRIP ON CULTIVATED LAND
This countryside Stewardship option provides new habitat, protects existing landscape features, and improves water quality.
Next to existing features, such as a thick hedge, it will provide an ideal habitat for ground nesting birds such as Grey partridges, Yellow hammers and Whitethroats. If the buffer strip does not exist alongside a thick hedge, it will appeal to birds such as the Corn bunting.
