Hogacre Common Eco Park Development Project

To develop an outstanding environmental resource by transforming a former sports field with ancillary land and buildings into an ecological park demonstrating best practice in many sustainability and carbon reduction systems. Carbon-sequestering wooded areas will be planted, a wildlife pond will be dug, community gardens developed and bee colonies established with a wildflower meadow to aid them. Neglected mature woodland margins will also be managed to encourage greater biodiversity.
