RSPB Brading Marshes – highlighting the benefits of Biodiversity Net Gain to developers and businesses.
Our first reserve on the Isle of Wight, RSPB Brading Marshes stretches from the village of Brading to the sea at Bembridge Harbour. From Buzzards and Little Egrets, Green Woodpeckers and Marsh Harriers to butterflies, Hobbies and Red Squirrels, it's a haven for a wide range of wildlife.
Local Planning Authority (LPA): Isle of Wight LPA
National Character Area (NCA): Isle of Wight
Distinctiveness units:
Heathland and shrub – mixed scrub (medium)
Woodland and forest – other woodland; broadleaved (medium)
Through our work at Brading Marshes, 12ha (hectares) of grassland and arable fields will be regenerated into thriving woodland and scrub. Oak, Ash, Hazel and Field Maple trees will spread from the nearby ancient woodland, expanding its footprint and increasing the available habitat for rare species such as Hazel Dormice and Red Squirrels.
