Spotting wildlife

The development of The National Forest offers unprecedented opportunities to create and enhance a wide range of wildlife habitats.

This means that The National Forest is the ideal place to see plants and animals in the wild. From spring displays of wildflowers to the changing colours of woodlands in autumn, there is something to see throughout the year.

There are also a wide range of sites and locations to visit within The National Forest to take advantage of these wildlife habitats. A full list, and additional information can be found within The National Forest Biodiversity Action Plan.
