The Grounds and Gardens team have developed a Biodiversity Trail for both St Lukes and Streatham campuses to enable colleagues to see the species supported throughout the year and the techniques they use to support wildlife on campus.
These walks, with accompanying guides for both Streatham and St Luke's campuses provide a route taking in some interesting examples of the fantastic trees on our award-winning grounds, including three Arboretums (tree collections).
Developed by bioscientist Professor Claire Belcher, Associate Professor in Earth System Science, the walk offers the chance to glimpse ancient worlds and explore the evolutionary history of plants, guiding visitors through the exceptional botanical collections of the University. It comes with a downloadable leaflet to help you follow the walk.
Both the Streatham Campus and St Luke's Campus are beautiful, botanically interesting and contribute to the biodiversity of the city of Exeter and the South West. The Grounds and gardens Team have produced two guides to help guide you around points of interest.
Our new Biodiversity Sound Trail combines factual information about the nature and wildlife around Reed Hall with poetry written and recorded by students.
