HS2 Green Corridor
The Green Corridor Prospectus and map provide detail about how we are already delivering environment projects up and down the route and how communities can benefit further by getting involved.
In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, we have made the decision to postpone all of our public face-to-face engagement events and meetings for the safety of our staff, stakeholders and communities. We have also put in place alternative ways of communicating and engaging regularly with communities to ensure that we can continue to inform, listen and respond.
The HS2 Helpdesk remains operational all day, every day, and is your first point of contact: Freephone 08081 434 434; Minicom 08081 456 472; Email: [email protected]. If you contact us by post there will be an extended delay in us responding to you.

Our Green Corridor will run alongside the railway, creating a network of bigger, better-connected, climate resilient habitats and new green spaces for people to enjoy.
We have already started planting new woodlands and creating new ponds, grasslands and meadows, with many new habitats flourishing, before a single train has started running.
We understand that local communities have concerns about the environmental impact of building HS2. That’s why we’ve put an extensive environment programme in place, including our Green Corridor alongside the railway. The Green Corridor Prospectus provides more detail about how we are already delivering projects up and down the route and how communities can benefit further by getting involved.
By combining HS2 Ltd’s funds with external capital, we will achieve much more for communities and the environment, and by delivering the Green Corridor, we are also supporting the Government’s 25-Year Environment Plan.
