Morning Starters: Summer 2 - Wetland Wonders
Did You Know?
The Somerset Levels are a unique wetland habitat in the southwest of England. They were formed by rivers overflowing into low-lying land, creating marshes and floodplains. Over time, humans have developed this land into a managed wetland. It is now home to a variety of animals and plants, including birds, insects and otters. The environment changes seasonally, providing a perfect opportunity for wildlife to thrive.
