If you have not already read it, you might find
www.ben-network.org.uk/pdf/Vol4_5.pdf interesting, at least the first
section 'wildlife'.

Both parts were interesting - the second, on people and parks was
interesting to me as one of a group of people managing a town centre
nature park. And I suppose my initial reaction is that we are managing
it first for the wildlife rather than for the people, and I don't see
anything wrong in that. The fact of the wildlife is what gives its
importance to local people - they have several parks where they can play
football or walk dogs, but only the one where they can see a kingfisher.



From what you say, you seem to be running it for people who wish to
see/experience an extended range of wildlife in the area, and there's
nothing wrong with that, either, IMO.
