The main work that has been done was focused on cleaning up the roads and paths and trying to rehabilitate the natural countryside where the coal mining bings used to be. This also means that protection and nurturing of wildlife is high on the agenda for day to day park work.
The one really good thing about
Plean Country Park is that there is a realistic balance between
facilitating public access to all of the park and making sure that natural
resources and wildlife are supported.
Above is one of the areas in the park where you can see there has been significant tree planting to try and re-establish more of the forest lands that were destroyed during the mining years
This is the person who manages the park performing the regular cleaning and maintenance of all the bird boxes.
There are numerous bird boxes to help the many different kinds of birds nest and breed. There are also quite a few bat boxes attached to the trees.
As part of the balance between nature and making the park nice for visitors, you can see some really good artwork when doing the walks near the house. Below you will see a great example of this.
Please Look After Your Park
- Leave Wildflowers for all to
enjoy.
- Keep dogs under control,
particularly around the car park and horse trail. Loose dogs can
scare wildlife and horses.
- Take your litter home. Clean up any mess and please use the dog bins.
