The Council has embarked on a 5 year programme to restore nature recovery across the borough, a wide range of projects varying from invasive species removal, pond restoration, wildflower creation and woodland management.
This helps meet the Council's biodiversity action plan (BAP) and the nature recovery action plan (NRAP).
Below are the links for the 4 projects the team are delivering currently.
The new 5 year programme will target and destroy 3/4 invasive species across the borough; Japanese Knotweed, Floating Pennywort, Himalayan Balsam and Giant Hogweed. In order to make space for native plants that boost biodiversity.
12 wildflower meadows at 10 sites across the borough are being created, these will encourage pollinators and biodiversity in our parks including bats, reptiles, hedgehogs and bird of prey.
This winter season, clearance works will be taking place in the overgrown woodland areas within Inwood Park, Lampton Park and Thornbury Park. These spaces are essential for local communities to feel connected to nature and develop a sense of belonging.
Pond Restoration
The Council is focussing on restoring two ponds to their natural state; Clymping Dene in Feltham park and Clayponds at Carville Hall South.This will include the removal of algae, pollution and duckweed as well as desilting of the ponds to increase their capacity to host aquatic species.
