FACTFILE
The
British countryside is essentially man-made - over hundreds
of years generations of farmers have carved and created the
landscape we know today. |
Bounded
by hedges, walls, ditches and banks, fields they have been
a feature of the British landscape since civilisation began.
|
Devon has some of the earliest. On Dartmoor, high above the
county's rolling countryside, there is still evidence of fields
laid out in Bronze Age times.
|
Grazed
by farm animals, cut for hay or ploughed and sown with arable
crops, fields often provide only a temporary place for wildlife
to thrive.
|
An
ancient meadow, rich in grasses and flowers, teems with animal
life. Some creatures like deer, owls and kestrels just visit
grasslands to forage or hunt. For others, like the short tailed
field vole, it is their whole world. |
