A NEW wildlife trail has launched at Brean Leisure Park to support the work they are doing to protect local wildlife and enhance the local environment.

The Wild Walk is a nature walk along North Lane and the bridleway which runs through Holiday Resort Unity.

It starts near the underpass that links Brean Leisure Park car park to the holiday resort and then runs alongside the conservation area, fishing lake and beehives towards the Secret Wood.

The Secret Wood at the end of the walk is a little haven for wildlife, a site used not only to release wild animals who have been rescued and rehabilitated, but also to encourage further wildlife.

Mick Rayner, head gardener at Brean Leisure Park, said: “With this being a popular activity, we thought it would be a new, fund activity to implement this season.

"It will help more people learn about the work we are doing, as well as being open to our local community and visitors to the area, as well as people that stay on site.

"None of the cache positions will interfere with any of the wildlife or conservation work we are doing, so all we ask is that you please stick to the path and do not look for any of these caches after dusk please.”

Major conservation and preservation work has been ongoing at the park since 2014, including clearing the waterways, planting trees and hedgerows, installing bird boxes, bat boxes, bee hives and bug houses.
