Moons Moat Nature Trail Workbook
Parent and Teacher Notes
The district of Moons Moat is an industrial and business estate in the
north-east of Redditch between the districts of Church Hill and Winyates
which takes its name from an ancient moated homestead located in
Church Hill South. During the development of Redditch New Town the
site was sympathetically incorporated into the town expansion and now
sits as a green oasis in this popular residential district.
Moons Moat is now a scheduled Ancient Monument and its future has
been championed by the Moons Moat Conservation Group, supported
by Heritage Lottery funding. This book complements other documents
produced by the Moons Moat Conservation Group to focus on some
ecological aspects that this unique site provides.
Although known for its historic significance, Moons Moat provides a
habitat for many varieties of fauna and flora. In this booklet we try to
highlight some of the wildlife found here. This booklet can be used with
the Nature Trail to help all explore and learn.
