Episode 212: Pannett Park, a gift for man and wildlife
In this episode
Pannett Park, in the coastal town of Whitby (UK) is not very big. Still, it may be worth your visit, as Ivonne discovers.
The park is steeply sloped and south facing. This means the area is attractive for a large range of plants and animals. What does wildlife friendly management look like in Pannett Park?
Ivonne has mixed feelings about Whitby Museum, which is also in the park.
This show is slightly longer than usual, because it’s also packed with wildlife friendly ideas for your own garden!
Scroll down for pictures of two beautiful wooden sculptures in Pannett Park.
Recordings and photographs date from May 2026.
