At Wasing Estate, we believe that nature is the cornerstone for everything and are immensely proud of our large Countryside Stewardship scheme with numerous areas of the estate devoted to promoting wildlife. We also look after around 6 miles of river frontage of the River Kennet and Enborne, which has amongst the largest range of flora and fauna of any lowland river in the UK. Some of those include habitat for 21 species of Dragonfly, Cranefly, the Whorl Snail, rare bat species, and numerous farmland birds such as Yellowhammer, Skylarks, Linnet and Chaffinch.
In order to protect this wonderful environment that surrounds all of us within our local community, Wasing held its annual litter pick on Friday 11th March 2022. Around 40 Wasing colleagues headed out in teams from the Estate towards Aldermaston, Brimpton and Woolhampton to collect rubbish and fly-tipped items from the roadsides and riverbanks.
Among some of the unusual items we collected was a toilet, a sink, shower doors, a lawn mower, a couple of flat screen TVs, tyres & many energy drink cans!
A very big thank you to all of the Wasing team who participated.
