Managing the Environment

The grounds team have adopted a wide range of practices to encourage sustainability and biodiversity. For example:

• Retention of dead wood on site to provide a habitat for insects, fungi and amphibians
• Creation of stag beetle habitat
• Recycling most of our green waste by composting
• 5 hectares laid to meadow, providing a habitat for a wide range of insect species
• Where possible stumps are cut high and hollowed to provide a habitat for insects.

Further details are to be found in the Whiteknights habitat management plan.
