Kingston Council has greenlit an ambitious rewilding initiative to restore the wetland at Tolworth Court Farm Fields, the largest nature reserve in the borough. This project is a collaboration involving Citizen Zoo and The Community Brain, with funding over 500,000 to transform the area. Features include creating ponds, a boardwalk for accessibility, and reintroducing livestock to enhance biodiversity. The project aims not only to bring back lost habitats but also to improve resilience against flooding, ensuring ecological balance amid changing climate conditions.
The rewilding project aims to create London's pioneering nature reserve by restoring wetland systems at Tolworth Court Farm Fields, enhancing biodiversity and climate resilience.
Plans include the installation of a wheelchair-friendly boardwalk, ensuring access to the now-restored wetland area which will help improve flood resilience.
With funding exceeding 500,000 from various sources, the project will reintroduce livestock to enhance plant diversity and habitat variety at the nature reserve.
Community collaboration with environmental groups like Citizen Zoo emphasizes a shared vision for biodiversity and ecological health through the rewilding efforts.
