Biodiversity & Habitat Biosecurity
Broomfield Park contains a rich diversity of habitat for wildlife and the FoBP
have been very active in both the development of new areas and the support,
restoration or maintenance of those existing. Long term projects (10yr
anniversaries this year) such as the Conservatory and Community Orchard are
well established and provide an extraordinary level of excellence and ongoing
development.
Our list of projects:
- Lakes
- Wildlife Pond
- Conservatory
- Community Orchard
- Memorial Gardens
- Wetlands
- Wildflower Gardens
- Apiary
- Growing Space
- Long Herbaceous and Rose Borders/Sensory Garden

Next Steps:
- Improve water quality and support wildlife in the lakes
- Sustain current habitats and expand community use of Growing Space
