Working for Southwark’s Wildlife The Southwark biodiversity action plan has now been adopted.
This plan includes actions to create majestic meadows and mange wonderful woodlands, and help protect nationally and regionally important habitats and species.
It focuses on the specific habitats of
- Parks and open spaces

Positive actions
Habitat action meadows
In Southwark Park a 1500 square meter meadow is being created with a special mix of flowers that offer an extended period of bloom and benefit many insects such as bees.
Species action bats - The bat roost project
In 2006 we received funding from SITA Trust, to build a large bat hibernacum in Sydenham Hill disused railway tunnel. This includes monitoring of bat populations and potential roosts and bat walks.
