Did you know that some of our sites have internal or external living walls? Pictured is our Leeds RERF and its beautiful living wall is one of the largest of its kind in Europe! It incorporates over 100,000 native plants, shrubs, grasses and bulbs and over 700 habitat boxes. These help to increase biodiversity as it provides food, shelter and a safe nesting space for birds and insects.
