Durham's Wildlife Habitats

Hollingside Lane

Durham University's estate is so varied that the range of habitats and species is impressive. The links to the left will guide you through the main types of habitats and you can also read summaries about the wildlife to be found.

 A key aim of our Biodiversity Survey is to ensure that we have as comprehensive an understanding of the richness of our flora and fauna as we possibly can. That way we can help ensure that the estate will always remain rich and varied for future generations of staff and students to enjoy and value.
