Green & Environmental intiatives at Green Park

Green Park is set in 195 acres of parkland which has been carefully landscaped over two decades, thereby encouraging biodiversity. It is now home to a wide range of plants and animals with more than 62 bird species having been ‘twitched’ on the business park, including Grey Herons, Cormorants and Greylag Geese. Green Park partners with the Berkshire and South Bucks Bat Group as well as the Bat Conservation Trust to monitor the Bat boxes and Bat Sounds Monitors installed around the Park. In addition, two beehives, a herb garden and wormery can be found. Longwater Lake, which runs through the centre of the park, is home to an abundance of freshwater fish and invertebrates. In 2018, Green Park was awarded the Wildlife Trust’s Biodiversity Benchmark.

Taking advantage of the windy climate in the UK, Green Park is home to a 120-metre wind turbine which generates enough energy to meet the needs of 1,200 average British homes each year. This energy is fed into the National Grid, of which, about 70% is used within a two square mile radius around the turbine.
