Habitat
Ecologists have categorised the habitats at EWR as Broadleaf Woodland, Grassland and Scrub. Each type of habitat offer different ecological aspects to an area. Each sub-habitat contributes to the richness of an area as a whole. Different creatures which depend on or use whole areas will utilize aspects of each sub-system.
Birds, for example, may consume berries from the scrub, insects from the woodland and use fibres from the grasses to make nests. Each part of an area’s habitat is important to the ecosystem for varying reasons and each part often important to the other. Variations of habitat offer variations of food, shelter, security and nesting for a variety of wildlife.
