Housebuilder Celebrates National Nestbox Week with Oxfordshire Wildlife Pledge
In light of National Nestbox Week (14th to 21st February), Barratt and David Wilson Homes has shared insights into how its Brookside Meadows development in Grove supports local birds and wildlife.
Located on Denchworth Road, the development aims to bring modern living to the community whilst also giving nature a home.
A key part of Barratt and David Wilson Homes' eco-friendly vision for Brookside Meadows is protecting wildlife by incorporating a variety of nature-friendly features throughout the development.
As part of this, 84 swift bricks have been strategically placed around the development to create welcoming habitats for birds, along with over 20 bird and bat boxes placed around the sought-after community.
Residents and the Sales Advisers at Brookside Meadows have even spotted birds nesting close to the marketing suite, highlighting the positive impact of these initiatives in supporting a thriving natural environment.
The development is surrounded by two acres of public open space, which features a lengthy network of hedgehog highways and over 120 newly planted trees to safeguard the existing plants and trees at Brookside Meadows.
To complete the eco-friendly community, Barratt and David Wilson Homes is planting wildflower meadows to support native pollinators such as, bees, butterflies, and moths.
Campbell Gregg, Managing Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Southern, said: “We are incredibly proud of the measures we are implementing at our Brookside Meadows development to ensure that it is a welcoming home for both residents and wildlife alike.
“Extensive planning and care are integrated across all of our developments to create sustainable and environmentally diverse living spaces for everyone, birds and wildlife included.”
