Portishead Ecology Park
Portishead Ecology Park
The ecology park was established in 2007 as part of the Port Marine housing development, creating a public open space and a flood storage buffer. Prior to that, the land was primarily grazing marsh and was artificially drained by a series of interconnected drainage ditches. The wetland habitat is made up of ponds, scrapes and marshy grassland. It is home to a range of wildlife species including nesting birds, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, invertebrates and native wild flowers.
