BI4Update, Deliver, and Assess the Biodiversity Action Plan

Since 2010, SBC has been publishing the Stevenage Biodiversity Action Plan. The five-year plan links to the Hertfordshire Biodiversity Plan and sets out actions that will help to protect and develop biodiversity across Stevenage.

The main habitat types found in Stevenage are:

• woodland;
• grassland;
• ancient hedgerows;
• wetland; and
• neighbourhood nature such as gardens, allotments and buildings.

A total of 40 County Wildlife Sites have been identified including valuable locations for key species such as the Great Green Bush Cricket, bats, great crested newts, badgers, and scarce flora.

The 2017-2022 Action Plan is available - Biodiversity (stevenage.gov.uk)

The next five-year plan is in development and will be available on the SBC website in the near future.
