These areas are used by the departments of both Biology and Geography to run field courses in such subjects as freshwater ecology, biodiversity, and animal behaviour.
An outdoor classroom has recently been erected to facilitate these activities and encourage visitors, and a self-guided tree trail is available to see the range of exotic species on show around the gardens.
