The Devon countryside is one of the most wildlife-rich regions in England. Rolling farmland, ancient hedgerows and quiet woodlands create ideal habitats for many animals and birds.
The Importance of Hedgerows
Traditional Devon hedgerows play a vital role in supporting wildlife. These dense banks of shrubs and trees provide shelter for birds, insects and small mammals. They also act as wildlife corridors, allowing animals to move safely between different habitats.
Woodland and River Wildlife
Devon’s rivers and woodlands support species such as:
• kingfishers
• otters
• woodpeckers
• dragonflies
These habitats create a rich ecosystem that changes throughout the seasons.
