What we are doing
At the start of the HS2 programme of works we constructed an environmental mitigation site in Chalfont St Peter. This site is located next to the Chalfont St Peter vent shaft site on Chesham Lane and backing onto properties in Valentine Way. In response to feedback from local residents we will be planting hedgerow along the existing fence line at this habitat site.
There will be a mixture of saplings and whips planted that reflect the local species in the area, and smaller vegetation. All species are native and will include Field Maple, Dogwood, Hawthorn, Spindle, Holly, Blackthorn and Yew. The newly planted hedgerow will be protected with tree guards to make sure they are not damaged or destroyed by wildlife.
There will be maintenance and management visits throughout 2021 to ensure the hedgerow establishes, develops and is maintained.
