Tracks and other linear features are easily overlooked as habitat types. One might assume that tracks would suffer from a loss of diversity as a result of the continual pressure of human activity. This is far from the truth and for the majority of the time they are quite literally alive with wildlife. A track will often act as an interface between two different habitats, bringing together species from each. It is not uncommon for mammals to use them as ‘wildlife corridors’ and many species of bird prefer to nest in the banks and hedgerows associated with tracks, despite being used continually by humans as access routes.

A few of the tracks on the farm are shown below:
