September 2007 ~ Looking for grasshoppers
A young naturalist searches for grasshoppers and other mini-beasts among the riverside meadows in Sutcliffe Park. Until its transformation in 2003/4 the park was virtually a monoculture of municipal grass. Now it is a haven for wildlife, attracted by the superb habitats that have been created.
This photo illustrates one of QWAG's goals: to demonstrate, using the Quaggy, that rivers can be major assets to an urban environment - bringing natural beauty, educational facilities and wildlife value into urban landscapes and urban lives.
