Nature Recovery on the Mendip Hills National Landscape

Let’s give you a bird’s-eye view of how and why the Mendip Hills National Landscape is so special for wildlife and meet the 'Champion Species' for the area. Mike Dilger is our tour guide, lead on. The Champion Species for the Mendip Hills National Landscape? What makes them champions? They’re all threatened and vulnerable to disappearing from our lives. They all tell us how good, or not, the areas are where they live. And, they’re all quirky, conversation-starters! Each week we’ll be getting to know the champion species through a different film with Mike and a local specialist. The eight species are; adder, greater horseshoe bat, Cheddar pink, dormouse, black oil beetle, water vole, small pearl bordered fritillary and skylark.
