Hello,I'm delighted to welcome you to our WildlifeClub,and very pleased that you're interested in thecountryside and the plants and creatures of thisarea.I think you'll be surprised at the variety wehave here,even though we're not far from London.I'llstart by telling you about some of the parks andopen spaces nearby.
One very pleasant place is Halland Common.This hasbeen public land for hundreds of years,and what you'll find interesting is that the RiverOuse,which flows into the sea eighty kilometres away,has its source in the common.There's aninformation board about the plants and animals you can see here,and by the way.the commonis accessible 24 hours a day.
