shortDescription:
'Castle Eden Dene National Nature Reserve is an ancient woodland located in the centre of Peterlee.\n\nCastle Eden Dene, which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a National Nature Reserve (NNR), making it an important natural corridor for biodiversity conservation. As an NNR, it provides a sanctuary for many species that are rare or declining elsewhere, ensuring their survival and offering visitors a glimpse into an ancient and biodiverse ecosystem. Notable wildlife includes over 190 recorded bird species such as Willow tit, iconic mammals such as badger, and a rich variety of over 450 recorded species of plants, including local scarcities such as Herb Paris.\n\nThe site is open to the public with over 12 miles of footpaths which allow the public to explore this mysterious entangled landscape of ancient woodland and exposed magnesium limestone cliffs in this beautiful coastal Dene.\n\nThe purpose of a volunteer warden is to help us to manage the Dene by being our eyes and ears on site, patrolling the 12 miles of footpaths and reporting your findings.\n',
