Wildlife Ponds
Six new habitat ponds were completed in Spring 2021 as part of our early infrastructure delivery. The ponds have come to life and are an important wildlife measure to ensure the population of Great Crested Newts is secured following years of decline.
Chalcroft Farm Ecology
At Chalcroft Farm we are carefully dismantling old farm buildings. To do this, our ecologists have carried out detailed assessments to understand where important habitats are located. Find out more about our work to date.
Trees of One Horton Heath
From clusters of oak trees, small woodlands, hedges and scattered stock -our tree management activities go beyond the creation of new planted spaces. With guidance from ecologists and tree consultants we are delivering important measures across the site to positively affect the life cycle of our trees.
