We’ve provided you with some facts and figures about some of our most outstanding trees and prepared a guide for you to visit 20 trees from around the world as you stroll through Victoria Park.

Thanks to Wild City for producing the graphic sheet for us.

 

 

Environment

A wild space at the heart of the city

We will celebrate the natural environment and ecology of the park, enrich the park as a place of relaxation and contemplation, and use Victoria Park to help people learn about the environment, climate change and biodiversity.

Our aim is to maintain the character of the park while improving bio-diversity through planting initiatives such as a sensory garden or wildflower meadow. We will explore the potential for community growing spaces giving people the opportunity to get involved in gardening, horticulture and conservation.

Any new infrastructure will be environmentally sustainable and will meet green design best practice.

The park is home to albino squirrels – try and spot one next visit!

Herring Gulls can also be seen in Victoria Park. They are considered rare and on the RSPB’s Conservation Red List.
