- Background
- The site has educational value-10 different trail posts
- Also built for wheelchairs
- The trails have been built so that the habitats are still preserved and protected, so people can wander through without damaging the vegetation.
- Number of preserved and recreated habitats
- A good example of how habitats can be preserved and created and still allow public access through a network of trails
- Original habitats preserved enabling native species of plants and animals to survive
- Environmentally better than the victorians who did little to look after the environment
- Local Nature Reserve
- Open at all times
