Take a Look at our Trees

The planning of Milton Keynes allowed for extensive green space and this means that a corresponding large number of trees have been planted. The grid roads are lined with trees and shrubs whose planting was designed to introduce subtle variation to the different areas of the city

Secret Life

Milton Keynes Parks - BadgerBadgers belong to the same family as stoats, weasels and otters. These are all animals with musk bearing scent glands under their tails. A Badger's body is wedge shaped and very low to the ground with short powerful legs which are excellent for digging and working in confined spaces.

They are so versatile that they can live almost anywhere in the country from the seashores to the tops of our mountains and in recent years they have successfully colonised all of our major cities
