The Regent's Canal is home to a great variety of plants and animals, as the peaceful environment offers a
natural highway for seed dispersal or migration in the built-up city.
Grass, shrub and woodland habitats along the canal bank and towing path shelter small animals, insects and birds;
canal walls and shallow edges are ideal for marsh and water plants; and a variety of invertebrates and fish live in
the deeper water.
Note - there is a lot more information that we could offer about wildlife. For example, the Camley Street Natural Park, Mile End Park, Thornhill Bridge Gardeners Club
