We have worked on several projects to improve green corridors in the borough.
This page shows some of these projects.
The Greenway
Sandhurst
We developed a new wildflower meadow along the cycle-track. We stocked the flower planters with pollinator friendly plants.
Two large new meadows were cultivated and seeded in March and April 2022.
Site access is off Branksome Hill Road, GU47 0QG (parking on the main road).
Wildflower verges
Warfield
Working with Warfield Environment Group, we converted mown grass verges to wildflower areas along Harvest Ride in Warfield.
We sowed a wildflower seed mix suitable for clay soils on all 3 verges to increase the diversity of wildflowers. We will be surveying the wildflowers and insects to assess the success of the project.
For more information visit the Warfield Environment Group website.
Pond creation
Warfield and Bracknell
Working with Bracknell Conservation Volunteers, we identified locations for new ponds at Garth Meadows.
These will create new habitats for a wide range of wildlife including invertebrates and amphibians.
To get involved visit the Bracknell Conservation Volunteers website.
River corridor improvements
Binfield, Warfield and Sandhurst
We are looking at ways to improve the rivers and their habitat corridors across the borough. This includes The Cut and Bullbrook rivers in Binfield and Warfield, and the Blackwater river in Sandhurst.
Improvements may include in-channel logs to improve fish habitat, removing invasive species and identifying pollution sources from outfalls.
To see the rivers, visit:
- The Cut Countryside Corridor
- Edmunds Green and Lane (Bullbrook)
- Shepherd Meadows (Blackwater)
