Description
A 10 hectares former landfill site situated in a rural setting to the east of the village Alne in North Yorkshire. The site supports grassland as the main habitat type, with hedgerows, ditches, a small stream, an area of woodland with scattered trees and scrub. The land will be enhanced with new species-rich grassland and hedgerows, which we expect to see growing in abundance over the coming decades. By allowing nature to recover, our enhancements will offer a huge range of benefits to the local community. Some of these benefits include better air and water quality, locking up carbon, reduced flood risks, improved health and wellbeing and more nature-based economic opportunities. Also, by increasing biodiversity, it can help to increase food yield with an increased abundance of pollinators and improved soil health locally. We are excited to collaborate with developers to provide both whole and fractional units to meet individual needs. The site is in the process of being added to the biodiversity gain sites register.
