This funding has delivered improved conservation status for habitat across publicly accessible green space within the urban areas of Solihull Borough. Newts & Shoots will build upon the achievements of these previously successful schemes by enhancing an additional 3.83 hectares of semi-natural habitat at seven sites within the Borough including: habitat enhancement to three ponds currently in poor ecological condition; creation of a new pond specifically to benefit great crested newts; creation of species rich grassland at two sites; and woodland management at one site. This contract is for the works to create a new pond in one public open space and improve the ecology of existing ponds at three other public open spaces within Solihull borough.
