After many months\u00a0away,\u00a0we are looking forward to\u00a0welcoming back students, staff and visitors to\u00a0our beautiful campuses with their\u00a0many sustainability features\u00a0including\u00a0rich biodiversity.<\/p>\n

Following a\u00a0landscaping project in Summer 2019, partially funded by the by the EU European Regional Development Fund,\u00a0biodiversity around the Oxstalls Campus in Gloucester is thriving, with wildflowers including\u00a0poppies, daisies and corn marigolds\u00a0stretching across much of the area.<\/p>\n

The improvement project has re-wilded\u00a0the land that follows<\/span>\u00a0the line of Wotton Brook between the southern Oxstalls campus boundary and the northern Plock Court Wetland Reserve, linking these two areas of University of Gloucestershire property with a natural verge and meadow.\u00a0It\u00a0focused on improving the biodiversity of four specific areas on\u00a0site, by replanting hedgerows, establishing a linear wildflower meadow and widening the bank of the\u00a0Wotton Brook to create a more varied waterside habitat. As a result, the project\u00a0has\u00a0improved\u00a0wildlife habitats and strengthened the\u00a0ecological links throughout the site.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0These biodiversity actions\u00a0at Oxstalls add to the features across our campuses,\u00a0which are also home to\u00a0many\u00a0rare and endangered tree species, a\u00a0colony\u00a0of\u00a0swifts and\u00a0award winning hedgehog friendly features. We were excited to see that two local deer also took advantage of the lockdown to spend some time visiting our Francis Close Hall site!<\/p>\n
