In August 2024, The FM Company, in collaboration with E G Grounds Care, took a significant step toward supporting biodiversity and environmental stewardship at Southgate Park. This project aimed to enhance the local ecosystem by installing bird and bug houses, along with a log pile, creating essential habitats for wildlife. The initiative also involved the local Cub Scouts, fostering community involvement and environmental education. Here’s a closer look at the project and its positive impact.
The project at Southgate Park focused on creating a sustainable, protected environment for local wildlife. Through the installation of bird and bug houses and the addition of a log pile, the project aimed to support small animals and encourage biodiversity. To ensure the area remains undisturbed, it was carefully roped off, providing a safe space where wildlife can thrive.
The Southgate Park initiative yielded both practical solutions for wildlife support and valuable benefits for the community. Here are some key highlights:
By installing bird and bug houses and adding a log pile, the project created safe, sustainable shelters and food sources for small wildlife. These habitats encourage biodiversity and contribute to the long-term health of the ecosystem at Southgate Park.
The involvement of a local Cub Scout troop fostered a strong sense of environmental stewardship within the community. Scouts had the opportunity to participate in decorating and assembling the bird and bug houses, gaining hands-on experience in wildlife conservation and learning about the importance of protecting natural habitats.
With the addition of these habitats, the local ecosystem benefits from increased biodiversity, which helps create a more resilient and balanced environment. The roped-off area further protects the space, allowing wildlife to flourish undisturbed.
Engaging young people in the project provided an educational platform that instilled a sense of responsibility toward the environment. This collaboration between The FM Company and the Cub Scouts demonstrates how community involvement can inspire future generations to value and protect natural resources.
The Southgate Park project underscores The FM Company’s dedication to creating sustainable, wildlife-friendly spaces. Through collaborative efforts with community groups, we’re making meaningful contributions to local ecosystems, ensuring that both nature and the community can enjoy a healthier, thriving environment.
