What we are doing
We will be creating ecological mitigation ponds surrounded by grassland habitat creation on land off Dog Lane, Stableford. We will use the ponds to relocate any protected species, such as Great Crested Newts before we need to remove any other habitats. Later in the year, we will create wildflower meadows and start woodland planting.
Before the work starts and to set up the site, we will install track matting on the access track, to allow machinery to get on. As part of the work, we will also create hibernaculums and install bat and bird boxes. Hibernaculums are places where creatures, like reptiles seek refuge to keep themselves warm over the winter period.
