WATCH EARTH DAY 2024 PLANET VS PLASTICS
At Wasing, 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 us all & to mark Earth Day ‘Planet vs Plastics’ 2024, Wasing recently held its annual litter pick as part of Surfers Against Sewage Million Mile Clean; the biggest initiative of its kind in the UK, with volunteers on a mission to pick up a million miles of rubbish that pollutes our coastlines, canal paths, bridalways and city streets.
Wasing colleagues, along with friends from our local community, headed out from the Estate in teams towards Aldermaston, Brimpton and Woolhampton to collect rubbish and fly-tipped items from local roadsides and riverbanks.
A very big thank you to the team!
