Biodiversity Opportunities

New Trees and Hedgerows for Sonning Common

We have a fantastic opportunity to increase the biodiversity in Sonning Common. Our plans for 2025 include identifying opportunities for new hedgerows and trees, using our ‘Biodiversity Opportunities Map’ to help us. Please get in touch if you would like to help us with this worthwhile project.

BIODIVERSITY OPPORTUNITIES - HEDGEROWS 

The map shows where the placement of hedgerows will deliver different levels of biodiversity uplift. 

New hedges can join to existing hedges and woodlands or grasslands to form an unbroken network. This speeds up natural colonisation and allows wild and plant life to move across the landscape more easily. This strengthens biodiversity.
