Longleat Forest has become an unexpected sanctuary for British wildlife, according to a recent secret survey conducted by dedicated Longleat Rangers. This hidden study uncovered remarkable increases in populations of tiny dormice, elusive bird species, and rare butterflies, highlighting the forest’s status as a biodiversity hotspot.
The survey revealed not only a rise in these individual species but also a flourishing ecosystem thriving under the protection and careful management of the rangers. Tiny dormice, once considered scarce in the region, are now significantly more common, providing an encouraging sign of habitat health. Bird watchers are also celebrating the return of several elusive bird species, drawn by the forest’s rich resources and secure environment.
Equally impressive is the surge in rare butterflies, whose presence signals the sustained quality of the forest’s flora and natural balance. Together, these findings showcase Longleat Forest as a vital haven for wildlife conservation and a beacon of hope for preserving Britain’s natural heritage.
