Wildlife Corridors

As part of the remediation programme, 5700 new trees and shrubs have been planted. New areas of woodland and meadow have been created to form new habitats and to enrich the biodiversity in this unique coastal environment. This includes wildlife corridors to boost the population of insects, butterflies and bees.
