You will hear a park ranger giving a talk to a group of visitors about a newly opened country park.
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16. [20 seconds]. Now, listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 16.
Hello everyone, I'm Ellie. I'm one of the rangers at Pinewood Country Park. This is the third year that this community project has been running, and a lot of the people maintaining the park are volunteers. I'm a full time ranger employed by the town council, but I was actually asked to join this project by NatureFirst, a national charity that sets up green space initiatives all around the country.
So how did the park get started? Well, until about 25 years ago, this whole area was used by local farms, mainly for growing crops like wheat and barley. After the farmers retired, the land lay unused for years, becoming overgrown. Some people thought it might be used for grazing, but in the end the council bought it for the community.
Now, when the project began, we knew this used to be farmland, but we didn't realise how rich the wildlife had become in those years of neglect. The discovery that changed everything came one wet morning when a local dog walker noticed an unusual orchid by the path. After he reported it, researchers came in and confirmed it was a rare species. They've done formal surveys since then, but it was that chance discovery that really started the conservation work here.
Over the three years we've been here, we've recorded more than 80 species of butterfly, far more than we ever expected. We've also identified a wide range of woodland flowers among the older trees. The one thing we're still very much hoping to find, though, is nesting birds of prey, we're optimistic that next spring may finally bring some. Beyond the railway line that marks our eastern boundary, our volunteers have been surveying the surrounding land too.
We initially thought we'd found an old mining shaft over there, but it turned out to be a much more recent drainage feature. We haven't come across any farmhouse ruins, despite local rumours, but we did identify the boundaries of an ancient hedgerow system, which is really exciting because it suggests there was once an old woodland connecting to ours. This year's main maintenance work will end soon, but we'll be back in spring.
In the meantime, this autumn, we're putting on a series of guided walks for primary schools. We're really keen to get younger generations involved. We do plan to publish a fuller research report on the project, but that probably won't appear until next year. Some of you may also have seen the local newspaper article about us recently.
When you walk around the park, please make sure you stay on the marked paths at all times. There are several facilities I'd like to point out. Take a look at the map of the park. Where we are now, at the entrance, is marked at the bottom.
Many of you will want to start at our café before exploring. From the entrance, take the main path straight ahead as it heads north through the centre of the park. A little way up, you'll come to a junction where it splits; if you follow the right hand branch as it curves away, it carries you around to the north east corner of the park, and that's where the café is.
From there, if you've brought lunch with you, you might prefer to make your way back towards the entrance and look for the small path on the left, running alongside our stream. The picnic area is right beside the stream, on the west side of the park, just before the woodland. Once you're by the stream, wildlife enthusiasts can cross back towards the main path and continue just beyond the point where the stream cuts across it.
What you'll notice there is a short track leading off to the east, and that takes you to the bird hide, positioned to overlook the wildflower meadow on the east side of the park. If you keep going after that and want the best view of the entire park, stay on the main path and continue north until you reach the very top of the park.
The tower stands at the highest point, north of the woodland and the lake. So, does anyone have any questions?
