Bredon Hill - Worcestershire Wildlife Trust
The area supports invertebrate populations of European importance
Bredon Hill, an outlying part of the Cotswolds near Tewkesbury, is well-known for its Iron Age hill fort. It is equally significant for its rich biodiversity – its calcareous grassland, veteran trees and scrub communities support invertebrate populations of European importance.
This scheme aims to work with local landowners and the wider community to protect, enhance and re-create habitats to form a more permeable landscape where wildlife areas are linked up to allow species to move and thrive.
