Sustainability and biodiversity are an important part of our work. To give just a few examples: in our Valley Gardens, we have introduced habitat piles tothewoodlandareas,whichwehopewillencouragestagbeetlesandsmall mammalssuchashedgehogs.Wehaveaddedbatboxestothetreecanopies and are experimenting with wildflower areas to encourage insects. We also collect all the spent coffee grounds from the University’s restaurants and mix these in with our compost. This adds nutrients to the soil as well as stopping weeds from germinating.”
