The Riverwood Biodiversity Group aims to foster and improve the biodiversity in Riverwood estate. The estate is home to local wildlife such as foxes, bats and maybe even badgers and shrews!

While we get up and running here’s some documents to get you started on improving biodiversity in your own garden.
