Nature focus
After discussion with our partners, Northumbrian Water decided that the most effective method of progressing our biodiversity work is to focus on one topic each year. The focus rotates between a species, a habitat and a specific activity (e.g. training).
Once the focus has been decided on, a work program for the year is drawn up, and local groups identified to work with to achieve our Biodiversity Action Plan targets. The choice of focus allows us to incorporate local, county and regional targets as well as wider national targets. These targets will all be linked to the species and habitats that have previously been identified as being priorities for Northumbrian Water.
Through our annual focus we aim to involve company staff, the conservation organisations that we already work in partnership with, and other interested groups.
Annual nature focus 2012 - Urban habitats
Our nature focus theme for 2012 will be on urban habitats. Throughout the year we will be looking at opportunities to raise awareness of the huge range of wildlife to be found in habitats found within our urban areas.
See nature focus section under Conservation for more information.
