Beschrijving
Parc Slip Nature Reserve is an area of 300 acres containing a fantastic mix of habitats such as grassland, woodland and wetlands, restored from its previous status as an opencast coal mine.
During the summer, the fields near to the Visitor Centre are ablaze with colour as oxeye daisy, ragged robin, orchids, fleabane, red bartsia and numerous other beautiful wildflowers come into bloom.
Open water ponds, the wader scrape and wetlands provide habitat for many species of water bird, including Wintertaling, Kievit and Waterral. There are a number of open access hides and viewing areas throughout the reserve, overlooking the wetland areas and ponds and the Kievit breeding area. Deciduous and coniferous woodland provide home to Groene Specht and Gaai, Bosuil, foxes and wood mice.
