What we are doing
We have now completed the construction of the ecological mitigation ponds including the planting of the aquatic plants and making progress creating the surrounding habitats.
The grassland habitat has been ploughed and seeded, and the next habitat to be created is the woodland habitat. Tree planting will be on going throughout the winter.
The planting on this land will form part of the HS2 Green Corridor. The 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 the Green Corridor is the largest single environmental project in the UK.
When the work will take place
We will start the work to create the woodland habitat on 1 December 2022. This work will be ongoing into next year and the timeline for the
remaining works is shown below:
- Woodland creation – December ‘22 to January ‘23
- Bird and bat box installation – December ‘22 to January ‘23
- Demobilisation – late-January ‘23
Throughout 2023 the habitats will be monitored and maintained, with regular visits to carry out tree and hedge cutting
