Once upon a time,
animals and plants lived undisturbed by human beings. Now that we have taken over, wildlife in Portsmouth is just an echo of its former self - but what an echo! We have one of the most exciting places in the country for wildlife - the mudflats, marshes, seashores, woodland, grassland and built-up areas of the city mean we can attract all sorts of different species right to our front door.
