Centrica and the Community: Bringing Biodiversity to Sawyer’s Close
The Centrica team and I learnt so much from the experts at Green Earth Plan and Abri, and it was really rewarding to see the difference that our time had made. The satisfaction of lifting the final piece of turf from the soon-to-be wildflower corner was a particular highlight for me and I felt so proud when members of the Sawyer’s Close community came out to admire our handywork and wanted to get stuck in themselves! It was a privilege to meet our neighbours, whose home I had walked past so many times – and to share in their enthusiasm for that home was even better.
Bringing nature back to an unloved alleyway…
Overgrown and frequently filled with leftover building materials, the alleyways have become forgotten parts of the neighbourhood. But when humans move out, nature moves in. And with careful local management, the alleyways can become mini wildlife havens that improve the community for all. This was an issue – and an opportunity – that was recognised by Love My Street.
