Biodiversity Toolkit for Housing Providers

We co-created and published a Biodiversity Toolkit for Housing Associations, funded by a Natural Environment Research Council Innovate grant. The Biodiversity Toolkit presents a set of widely used management options to improve the quality of urban green spaces for wildlife and will help housing providers support biodiversity on their sites. In addition, the toolkit provides information to help housing providers support their estate care and environment teams to engage residents with wildlife. The project team comprised staff working at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, Southern Housing Group, the Association of Local Environmental Records Centres, Bracknell Forest Council, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust, Bracknell Forest Council and the Thames Valley Environmental Records Centre. This Biodiversity Toolkit was published through the Field Studies Council.
