At Wasing, we believe that nature is the cornerstone for everything and are immensely proud of our large Countryside Stewardship scheme with numerous areas of the estate devoted to promoting wildlife. We also look after around 6 miles of river frontage of the River Kennet and Enborne, which has amongst the largest range of flora and fauna of any lowland river in the UK. Some of those include habitat for 21 species of Dragonfly, Cranefly, the Whorl Snail, rare bat species, and numerous farmland birds such as Yellowhammer, Skylarks, Linnet and Chaffinch.
In order to protect the wonderful environment that surrounds us all, we recently held our annual litter pick in support of the Great British Spring Clean. As part of our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship, our team took to the roads, riverbanks, and pathways around Aldermaston, Brimpton, and Woolhampton, collecting litter and fly-tipped items and working together to help restore the beauty of our local countryside.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Wasing who took part in this year’s clean-up effort. Your dedication and hard work make a real difference in preserving the natural spaces we all cherish.
For members of our local community who would like to get involved, why not join the Great British Spring Clean, taking place from 13–29 March 2026. It’s a wonderful opportunity to spend time in nature while helping care for the natural environment we value so much.
