Govia Thameslink #Railway (GTR), in partnership with the #Bee Friendly Trust, has created 100 'Homes for Nature' at stations across its network to enhance #biodiversity and protect endangered species. These habitats, which include bird boxes, bee hotels, and hibernacula, are now in place at 26 stations, including locations in East #Sussex, #Surrey, Greater #London, and #Bedfordshire. GTR plans to increase the number to 200 by the end of the year, celebrating the 200th anniversary of the modern railway. This initiative supports biodiversity recovery in response to the UK’s nature crisis, with nearly one in six species now at risk of extinction. The project also includes pollinator-friendly #plants, such as lavender and echinacea, added at 19 other stations. GTR’s environmental specialist, Eloise Rowan, highlighted the importance of these efforts in creating a railway for nature and helping improve local habitats for #wildlife and passengers.
