Canford Heath: herpetological protection
Image: © Chris Downer Taken: 9 Jul 2009
This small area is cordoned off using rubber 'walls' which are made specifically to be reptile-proof. The wall was erected during work to bury electric cables underground and was necessary to protect the six British native species of reptile, all of which live on Canford Heath, while the work was carried out.
