Sanctuary 3
The smallest of the
Valderrama sanctuaries, this is set on a dry bank below the 3rd
tee and above the 6th green. A family of badgers (the largest
mammal to be found at Valderrama), has made its home here, seeking
privacy in the dense thorny thicket.
The Autumn Daffodil is also to be found at this
sanctuary. Its discovery inspired us to collect seeds (but never
bulbs) of other wild species under threat. These are being grown
in cultivation with a view to returning them to the wild when
conditions are favourable for survival. |
