Wildlife screen at Battlemead

To help protect wildfowl from the newly created footpath across the Causeway at Battlemead, a wildlife screen has begun creation. The majority of this work was undertaken by an amazing team from Wild Maidenhead during January.

There has been plenty of other planting work happening at Battlmead over the last few years. WildCookham and Wild Maidenhead have helped place numerous native whips over the West Field. In 2017, along the riverside many groups helped to plant a 850m wildlife hedge made of 4500 native British whips. This will grow into an important habitat and wildlife corridor for many animals.

We are excited to continue to support Battlemead's habitats (woodland, wetland, conservation grass and scrub) to develop and thrive in the future.
