At Wasing, we hold nature in the highest regard, viewing it as the foundation of everything we do. Our commitment to the environment is evident through our extensive Countryside Stewardship scheme, where we’ve dedicated large sections of the estate to promoting biodiversity. We take great pride in managing over six miles of river frontage along the River Kennet and Enborne, home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, making it one of the richest lowland rivers in the UK. These waters support 21 species of dragonflies, the rare Whorl Snail, unique bat species, and numerous farmland birds like Yellowhammers, Skylarks, Linnets, and Chaffinches.
This year, as part of our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship, we’ve joined the Great British Spring Clean and the Million Mile Clean initiative from Surfers Against Sewage. These campaigns aim to tackle the alarming levels of litter that continue to harm our landscapes and waterways.
Today our dedicated Wasing team took to the roads, riverbanks, and pathways around Aldermaston, Brimpton, and Woolhampton. Armed with bags and a shared sense of responsibility, we collected litter and fly-tipped items from local roadsides and the riverbanks—working together to restore the beauty of our environment.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s clean-up effort. Your dedication and hard work make a real difference in preserving the natural world that we cherish.
