Home to a king (3) comprises a series of ten nest boxes sited throughout the parkland, each featuring crossword clues based on the names of British trees. These can be used to complete the crossword in an accompanying free guide. Each nest-box is designed to house a particular species of bird found at YSP and is colour matched to the leaves of the tree on which it is hung, enabling the project to become an important part of the Park's natural habitat.
