More wildlife

newtWhilst carrying out hedging maintenance work on the solar farm recently our team of volunteers found more evidence of the growing biodiversity of the the site when they disturbed a newt whilst carrying out fencing work.

Luckily West Solent Director Kate Chapman had her phone to hand and was able to snap a photo of the newt before it scuttled away. With no human presence on site 99% of the time, the site is becoming a valuable nature reserve, monitored by our advisers Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust.
