Enhancing the biodiversity at Feeder Road
From insect hotels to species rich grassland, find out how we’re nurturing local wildlife at our new 20MW battery storage site.
To ensure we take all the necessary steps to protect and enhance nature, we set measurable targets which take into account the conditions at each location.
The measures we’ve put in place at our 20MW battery storage project at Feeder Road in Bristol are an example of how we prioritise native flora and fauna during the early stages of development. We produced a design plan with support from a landscape architect, focusing on providing a variety of animals with more places to nest and shelter. We’re pleased to have already installed four bird boxes, four bat boxes, two invertebrate boxes and a hedgehog house.
In addition, we’re continuing to plant trees, hedgerows, species rich grassland, shade scrub and native ferns to strengthen local habitat corridors. The trees will provide nesting opportunities for birds, and their fruits will provide birds such as blackbirds and song thrushes with a rich source of autumn food. Spring flowers will be a source of nectar and pollen for bees and other insects.
