Managing Kennington's verges for wildlife

Community group, Wild about Kennington, are passionate about improving their environment for the local residents whether they are human, mammal, insect or amphibian.

In summer 2025 new wildflower patches will enhance the area visually and be buzzing with wildlife . The wildflower seeds being sown have been carefully selected for their wildlife value for our native birds and bees. When in flower they will be a huge source of pollen and dense enough to provide sheltered wildlife corridors for mammals travelling through the village.

This project is a fantastic example of a successful Local Environment Fund grant application addressing nature recovery with the help of volunteers from the community.

The grant has been provided through our TOE Local Environment Fund, supported by contributions from Grundon Waste Management Ltd through the Landfill Communities Fund.
