Chalk

Is a form of limestone, which is porous rock. The steep slops of chalk in Bedfordshire are not good for farming so grassland and woodland has thrived.

It means that some rare wild plants with funny names such as the moor carrot and wild candytuft have survived.

Summer Leys Nature Reserve

Gravel

Quite a few nature reserves in our 3 counties were once pits used to extract raw materials for construction and engineering. Summer Leys, in Northamptonshire, for example, is an old gravel pit. 

The pits can be filled with water and the gravel then provides a stable surface for wild plants to grow on. In time, it becomes a great place for wildlife to live.

Willow Tree Fen

Peat

Was created by plants decomposing in a watery environment. That is why you find a lot of it in the fens, or wetlands, of Cambridgeshire, like the Great Fen.  

Peat is important because it acts as a carbon store which makes it good for the environment. It also helps with water management to prevent flooding and is a great habitat for animals.
