Managing the Wildlife of Bradgate Park Bradgate Park is a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) and this talk takes a look at the five main habitats found in Bradgate Park that make it such a special place. The key habitats are; Wet Heathland, Acid Grassland, Dry Stone Walls, Ancient Trees and Water Courses. The plant life and wildlife for each habitat will be reviewed along with habitat management tasks. There will be images of the large Red Deer down to the smallest insects.
