Presented on a bed of heather carpeting the clifftop are numerous photographs showing the habitat and wildlife living here. These include the Sand Lizard, Adder, Common Lizard, Slow Worm, Grass Snake, Smooth Snake and Wall Lizard.
The board forms part of an educational area where large, wooden carvings of a lizard, beetle and ant can be seen. One of the schools involved with the project is the Victoria Education Centre, which works with disabled children. Volunteers from here and from Ashdown helped to build the designs together with Carter, Parkstone, Grammar, Corfe Hills and St Edwards schools. The blocked paving was laid to represent reptilian strips and they form a path through the area. Each school built 20m of the path as a challenge.
Keyline Builders' Merchants donated all of the paving blocks which amount to over 10,000 in total. The children were able to learn and use new skills whilst building the project. The path now enables everyone to use it as it is wheelchair friendly.
