Exe Estuary, Exmouth LNR This Board depicts an aerial view of one of Britain's most important wildlife sites, the Exe Estuary. Now upgraded to a NNR. Up to 25,000 wildfowl winter on the River Exe. |
Where there's mud.... there's life This board depicts the ecology, and the importance of mud flats of the Exe Estuary as a fertile resource of food for the flocks of visiting birds. Each square metre can contain countless thousands of worms, shellfish and other invertebrates. Some of these flocks may have travelled over 3,000 miles. These boards are in an area accessible to the less mobile and an interesting aspect of this board is that some of the surfaces around the shapes of the shells have been raised, [made tactile] to enable less sighted people to enjoy some aspects of this interpretation board with a sighted friend. |
