Partnership formed to boost natural habitats
Barratt Homes has signed an agreement - the first of its kind in the UK – with the RSPB to boost natural habitats at its developments in Lindfield using updated landscaping and new guidance.
Welcoming the partnership, Mike Clarke, chief executive of the RSPB, said: “With hundreds of thousands of homes needed across the country in the next few years, now is the time for conservationists and homebuilders to pull together to ensure the wildlife is boosted rather than ousted in the process.
