Bucklebury Common, Berkshire
A series of grants from WREN have helped the recreation of some of Britain’s most important historic heathland become a reality. Over the last few years WREN has awarded nearly £70,000 to pay for the work at Bucklebury Common, West Berkshire. The site was identified as being nationally significant for heathland and the work has met the aims of both local and national Biodiversity Action Plans. As the stages of the recreation have progressed it has been encouraging to see heather re-establishing itself and the landscape beginning to resemble how it would have appeared only a few generations ago.
