Biodiversity Trails
The Exeter campuses continue to provide a wide range of habitats which help support birds, insects, reptiles, mammals and aquatic life. The habitats should not be viewed in isolation, as they help form important links and wildlife corridors to other areas of open space not owned or maintained by the University. In this respect, the campus spaces make an important contribution to biodiversity in Exeter and the wider county of Devon.
We have developed a Biodiversity Trail for each campus so please do take a walk around the campuses and see the species supported throughout the year and the techniques we use to support wildlife on campus.
The Biodiversity Trail has been devised to help students, staff and visitors enjoy a route around the Streatham Campus that can help demonstrate the impact of some of the sustainable practices.
It can start/finish at any of the following points around the route.
- Field above Car Park B
- Taddiforde Valley (Higher Hoopern)
- Pine Tree Belt Car Park A-B to Harrison Building
- Harrison Heather Banking
- Laver Pond
- Plantation
- Lower Hoopern Valley and Hatherly Labs Banking
- Queen’s Building/Washington Singer
- Reed Pond and Reed Hall Gardens
