British Airways are funding the planting of 9,000 trees at Wing Wood, a new woodland being established in Buckinghamshire.
This vast 51 hectare site will provide a valuable habitat for wildlife, green spaces for local people, and a sustainable source of timber. There will be new wildlife ponds as well as ‘wet’ woodland to support species including Great Crested Newts. A community orchard will be created, as well as accessible paths for walking.
To increase biodiversity, we would like to establish wildflower meadows within this site.
97% of wildflower meadows have been lost since WW2 - It's heartbreaking to lose such a critical part of the British landscape. When wildflower meadows disappear so do pollinators, as well as other insects, and animals that depend on insect life such as birds, such as birds, hedgehogs and bats.
A gift of £10 will buy, plant and maintain 1 square metre of meadow.
We hope to start planting the first section of wildflower meadow in March/April 2024, it is just over 0.62 of a hectare, and is right next to a public footpath so you can visit this meadow for yourself.
The more diversity we have in our natural habitats, then the more wildlife there will be. The more money we raise, the more habitat we can create.
We hope you can donate today: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/wing-wood-wildflower-meadow
