Project: London's Arcadia

London's Arcadia is an area which stretches from Richmond Hill to the River Thames, and along the river between Teddington and Kew. The London Arcadia project aims to work to protect and enhance the biodiversity, open up public space, regenerate and manage the wildlife corridors, landscaped gardens, avenues and meadowlands between Teddington and Kew.

A Biffaward grant enabled the National Trust to embark upon an ambitious project in 2006, at the Calke Abbey National Nature Reserve (NNR). The biodiversity development project addressed the need to restore ecology in the reserves' ponds. This was especially important for the globally threatened white-clawed crayfish, a rare UK BAP priority species, which was surviving in less than ideal habitat conditions in at least one of three ponds in Calke Abbey NNR.

 

The Biffaward funded 'Fen Harvester'

In 2003, The Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire & Peterborough won a Flagship grant of £389,930 towards the Great Fen Project.  This project, which demonstrates regional and national significance, with long term benefits for biodiversity and communities, will restore more than 3,000 hectares of wildlife habitat to the Cambridgeshire Fens.
