What we do in Redbridge
Much of our conservation work in the borough contributes to
the London Biodiversity Action
Plan.
Redbridge Biodiversity Action Plan
Complimentary to that, Redbridge has its own Redbridge
Biodiversity Action Plan that so far has included action plans for
allotments, private Gardens, school grounds, bats, water voles and
house sparrows.

Redbridge BAP came about
after three years of community consultation and development
thanks to the EU funded SUN (Sustainable Urban Networks)
project.
Everybody can help wildlife and can be involved with nature
conservation. Whether by gardening in a wildlife-friendly way,
participating in our practical tasks or recording what plants and
animals you see in your environment. You could take part in
the Redbridge BAP by becoming
involved in a particular action which you feel passionately about,
possibly even helping to set-up a new action for a habitat or
species that is missing in the current list.
Claybury Woods and UK woodland
assurance standard certification 
In 2009 Caybury Woods
received UK Woodland Assurance Standard (UKWAS)
certification.
UKWAS is a voluntary
forest certification standard that was developed in conjunction
with numerous forestry and conservation groups such as the Forestry
Commission, the Woodland Trust and the RSPB*.
UKWAS forms the basis
under which woods and forests in the UK obtain their FSC status.
UKWAS
certification proves that Claybury Woods is being managed
sustainably.
