The Green Park site was once an area of low-lying, poor quality agricultural land, lying in the flood plain of the River Kennet. In its development, we have created a wide range of natural habitats which support a diverse variety of birds, animal and wildlife.
Wildlife & Environment
Biodiversity and Park Information
Green Park recognises that environmental considerations should be integrated into our everyday working practices and embedded into our corporate values.
Bats
Green Park partners with the Berkshire and South Bucks Bat Group and the Bat Conservation Trust to monitor the Bat population on the park.
Bird Hide
There’s a wealth of birds to spot around Green Park, particularly around Longwater Lake. Comorants, Grey Herons, Greylag Geese, Blackbirds and Mallards are just a few which make Green Park their home.
Fishing at Green Park
Longwater Lake is an area of Green Park that is intended to be enjoyed by not just those working on the park, but also those who have an interest in angling.
Green Park Twitchers
Green Park Twitchers offers everyone an opportunity to experience the diverse and extensive list of notable bird species surveyed during recent years.
Herb Gardens
Herb gardens are an essential part of culinary, medicinal and homemaking materials. In everyday talk, a herb garden is a planting of plants used for either flavouring or for medicinal use, often for both.
Recycling and Waste Management
Green Park have introduced a number of initiatives to help manage and reduce the waste produced in the multi-occupied buildings* across the Park.
Wind Turbine
Europe’s most visible wind turbine was completed in November 2005 and has since become a major landmark for Reading.
