The steps we have taken so far...

As part of our Landscape and Ecology Management Plan we ensure we maintain grassland, trees and hedgerows at Green Lane Playing Fields. We maintain reptile refuges, bird boxes and bat boxes. We also control our light levels to protect our bats, making sure they are not disturbed from foraging and commuting.
