Landscaped Spaces So Nature Can Flourish
Biodiversity is essential for urban spaces; it helps wildlife to thrive, brings greenery to city neighbourhoods and is proven to improve health and well-being.
The Green Link has play areas, habitat features including stepping stones and large fallen trees, over 5,000 sq ft of lawns and over 6,000 sq ft of planting.
Poplar Riverside’s plants and materials have been carefully chosen to complement the neighbourhood’s ecology and biodiversity as well as for their aesthetic appeal, creating a biodiversity net gain of 55%. The result is a blend of different types of natural environments; a home for bees, birds and butterflies that residents and visitors can also enjoy.
