High Post's fauna and flora

Here at High Post we are very privileged to have an environment that plays host to a varied and sometimes rare wildlife.

Although the primary purpose is obviously the playing of golf, we nevertheless are custodians of this downland tract of land and maintaining the ecologically sensitive landscape is a priority.

 

 

 

This post in the blog will feature both the flora and fauna we have and what we are doing to protect it and how to encourage it...

 

 

 

 

The iconic and symbolic hare.......

Our 'resident' photographer, Paul, eventually managed to track down our most recent visitor to the course and managed to take this splendid shot of a Muntjac deer.
