SWAG合集 has won two awards at the .
Cranfield won in the 鈥極verall Winner 鈥� Best Wildlife Garden鈥� and 鈥楤est Employee Engagement in a Wildlife Garden鈥� categories. The awards recognise the efforts made by corporate members of the Wildlife Trust (Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire) to look after the wildlife in their local vicinities.
The judge was particularly impressed with Cranfield鈥檚 efforts in engaging staff and students in the 鈥楬oney Harvesting Experience鈥� day which took place during September 2017.
Gareth Ellis, Energy & Environment Manager at Cranfield, said: 鈥淲e are thrilled to receive this recognition for the ongoing efforts put in by our green team and groundskeepers, Nurture.
鈥淟ooking after the wildlife on campus is crucial for maintaining biodiversity. We encourage staff and students to join us through organised activities including our Spring Watch campaigns, biodiversity walks and honey harvesting.鈥�
The Cranfield campus is a hot spot for biodiversity due to its rural setting among a habitat mosaic of scrubland, woodland, wetland and farmland. Each of the different areas has its own environment action plan which supports the campus鈥� 鈥榣iving laboratory鈥� philosophy.
Areas of the campus are also devoted to wildflower plots which support natural biodiversity and a 鈥榳ildflower maze鈥� has recently been installed near the children鈥檚 playground. All this adds to the amenity value of the campus, providing more visually appealing natural spaces for staff, students and families, and for visitors to enjoy.
