What we are doing
We have built a number of new habitat sites along the HS2 route. These new habitats will support a wide range of species, including several protected ones such as great crested newts and barn owls. We are translocating areas of special interest such as meadows in order to protect them for the future.
As part of this mitigation work, we need to find out more information about the bats in your area this includes their foraging, commuting and roosting activities. To understand this, we need to complete bat surveys, the information in this newsletter explains how we do this and what you may see happening locally.
