Award of Greening the Grey Wildlife and Green Network Works in Solihull

About

Coventry - Solihull - Warwickshire awarded a contract to idverde Ltd for the Greening the Grey (working title) project, which aims to develop connections across Solihull with green networks and improved wildlife sites.

The works include planting and seeding across much of the existing 69 km cycle network and 23 km of new shared paths, along Highway verges or through public open space.

Planting comprises heavy standard and semi-mature size trees, smaller feathered trees, whips and transplants for hedgerow planting; large-scale wildflower seeding along verges and in parks and public open spaces, along with bulb planting; and wildflower turf areas, typically along key corridors.

The contract value is £1,000,000, and elements of the services/works may be partially funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
