United Kingdom
Приєднався 29 кві 2022
The proposed Lower Thames Crossing is part of the biggest investment in the country’s road network for a generation and an essential component in the UK’s future transport infrastructure. It will boost local, regional and national economies, while offering new connections, better journeys and fewer delays.
Lower Thames Crossing, creating bigger and better woodlands at Shorne Woods Country Park
The Lower Thames Crossing is working with Kent County Council and the Rangers at Shorne Wood Country Park to plant some of the 18,000 new trees that will be put into the area. Dormice impacted by the scheme will be moved into these new habitats, and the creation of bigger, better and more joined up woodlands will enhance the area and improve future biodiversity.
