St James’s is a highly urbanised site with limited formal biodiversity records, but it still supports typical urban adapted wildlife.

Species such as red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and herring gull (Larus argentatus) are regularly present, demonstrating how even heavily built environments can provide opportunities for wildlife. These species are well adapted to city life and form part of the wider urban ecosystem.

Trinity recently installed a wildflower bed and fruit trees (pictured above) to help out pollinators.  The area with fruit trees is called the Burkitt Orchard, in honour of Trinity alum Denis Burkitt, whose ground-breaking research revealed the link between dietary fibre and bowel cancer.
