Ouaisne Common is one of the Island’s richest and most diverse nature reserves. For its small size (10 hectares), Ouaisne consists of a remarkable variety of habitats. It comprises of a stabilised sand dune which is transforming to heathland. These changes are taking place for a number of reasons including the loss of grazing by larger animals and the construction of the German defensive wall during the Second World War.
The sign gives information about the flora and fauna to be found in the area, including many rare species.
