Campus ecology

The College's Ecological Management Plan identifies the main habitats within the grounds of Royal Holloway which will be managed to maintain and enhance their nature conservation value. The management plan, a 10-year monitoring programme, can be downloaded via the link below. An update on clearing and replanting work is also available.

Ecological Management Plan Update

Planned work for Winter 2008/2009

This winter we will be focussing on three main areas - targeted woodland management, bramble and scrub clearance and the pond & cascade. Click here for more information.

Management principles for the main habitats

• Enhance the nature conservation value of the southwest and northeast grasslands by appropriate grassland management
• Manage the existing mature woodlands for nature conservation
• Manage the ponds and enhance their value for amphibians
• Enhance the ecological value of areas of grassland, scrub and other habitats to the north of the A30
• Monitor the ecological condition of the main habitats, in particular the southwest grassland, ponds, watercourses and the mature woodland
