The company worked in partnership with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the local community on the project. Over 6,000 trees and shrubs were planted to create the right habitat for indigenous species such as bats, badgers, otters and owls.

Two buildings were transformed into bat roosts, and a wildlife pond was created for frogs, toads and newts. BAE Systems also helped set up a local ecological group to manage the site in the future.
