Biodiversity and Park Information

Green Park recognises that environmental considerations should be integrated into our everyday working practices and embedded into our corporate values.

Bats

Green Park partners with the Berkshire and South Bucks Bat Group and the Bat Conservation Trust to monitor the Bat Detectors and Bat Sounds Monitors we have installed around the Park. We have over 50 Bat Boxes around the Park.

Bee Keeping

Green Park is now home to two hives. Recently the bees have been prepared for the warmer spring weather by opening the hive and removing the winter installation.

Bird Hide

There’s a wealth of birds to spot around Green Park, particularly around Longwater Lake. Comorants, Grey Herons, Greylag Geese, Blackbirds and Mallards are just a few which make Green Park their home.

Fishing at Green Park

Longwater Lake is an area of Green Park that is intended to be enjoyed by not just those working on the park, but also those who have an interest in angling.

Green Park Twitchers

Green Park Twitchers offers everyone an opportunity to experience the diverse and extensive list of notable bird species surveyed during recent years.

Herb Gardens

Herb gardens are an essential part of culinary, medicinal and homemaking materials. In everyday talk, a herb garden is a planting of plants used for either flavouring or for medicinal use, often for both.

Recycling and Waste Management

Green Park have introduced a number of initiatives to help manage and reduce the waste produced in the multi-occupied buildings* across the Park.

Wind Turbine Visitor Centre

Europe’s most visible wind turbine was completed in November 2005 and has since become a major landmark for Reading.

Wormery

Green Park welcomed tenants in November 2014 when our worm farm was inhabitated by 22,000 Dendrobaena Veneta worms. These worms are particularly good when composting as they can consume up to 80% of their body weight per day and produce a 100% organic material for use elsewhere.
