Wildlife
Pembrokeshire has a vast array of different and diverse habitats,
from the Preseli Hills to the Sandy bays and estuaries. Because
of this, Pembrokeshire is home to thousands of different species
of wildlife. Many of the species seen are common however; some
are rare in Britain such as the Chough. Others such as the Skomer
Vole are only found in the county. The importance of the habitats
within Pembrokeshire has resulted in many areas being designated
nationally and internationally for nature conservation and protection.
The wildlife links provided (courtesy of the Arkive and Marlin
websites), although not specific to Pembrokeshire give a huge
amount of information about wildlife species common to the United
kingdom, many of which can be found living and breeding in Pembrokeshires
hills and waters.
Fact Sheets for Instructors have been produced to help Instructors to interpret the natural environments of Pembrokeshire, and pass on information about the plants animals and goelogy of the area to clients. |
