Biodiversity and Park Information

Our parkland setting has been planned and nurtured for over 20 years to encourage biodiversity. The planting and landscaping have been carefully considered to create a sustainable and beautiful environment to support a diverse variety of wildlife.

We’re delighted to have been awarded a Biodiversity Benchmark from the Wildlife Trust. We are also the proud winner of other environmental certifications too.

Here at Green Park, we recognises that environmental considerations should be integrated into our everyday working practices and embedded into our corporate values. The following documents highlight the commitment Green Park has made to the 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.

Beekeeping

Did you know that Green Park is home to three hives?

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.
