Animals in our Local Environment

Many animals live around us - in our local park, in our gardens and even in our houses! These habitats are very important for a range of insects, spiders, molluscs (slugs and snails), birds and small mammals like mice and hedgehogs.

These habitats provide water, food, shelter and a mate and a place to reproduce. These are also great places to investigate animals because they are right on our doorsteps.
