Key Features
We have partnered with Harworth Group to successfully delivery the open space management on a number of their developments. They wanted to partner with an organisation that would take away the day-to-day management of their sites, and also align with their values. Partnering with Trustgreen has provided them with the support that they need to concentrate their time on achieving their strategic objectives.
The Prince of Wales development is located on the previous Prince of Wales Colliery land, which produced 1.5 million tonnes of coal annually up until it’s closure in 2002. The development was assisted by £1.95m ‘Growing Places’ fund from Leeds Council, and features areas of amenity grassland, SUDS ponds and mature tree belts over the 70+ acre site.
Biodiversity Features
The Prince of Wales site features a large pond which is maintained by Trustgreen. We undertake annual clearance works to the headwalls to ensure adequate water flow. The pond provides a habitat for several species of duck, mallard and heron.
There is a habitat highway running through the development. Planted hedgerow either side of main footpath is used as habitat network for pollinators, birds and bats.
The site entrance is bordered by mature tree belts. The team inspect all trees on every visit and ensure tree works are undertaken to keep the trees healthy and maintained to provide excellent nesting locations for birds.
Community Event
In April 2023, we hosted a community day in partnership with Harworth Group. The event was a great opportunity to get to know the community and gain feedback from residents.
This feedback provides us with valuable insights on how we can best manage the development and provide open space management that is tailored to their needs. Over 50 adults and 60 children were in attendance.
