Biodiversity measures

Littleton Solar Farm incorporates a wide range of measures across its 77acre site to protect and enhance local biodiversity. These include:

the maintenance of existing hedgerows, the planting of new trees and hedgerows with locally sourced species, and the establishment of wildflower margins to support pollinators. 

We are taking measures to protect and enhance the biodiversity at the site by;

• maintenance of all existing internal hedgerows

• the establishment of wildflower margins to support pollinators

• planting new trees and hedgerows with locally sourced species to fill the boundary gap

• the creation of a buffer zone around the three ponds near the site

• supporting nearby wildflower grassland to enhance the ponds for great crested newts and

• the creation of log piles near to the ponds to provide terrestrial hibernacula and the introduction of native aquatic plants to the ponds to increase cover
