Mapletree is committed to creating green spaces within our assets. Green Park, Reading, which is nestled across 195 acres of meticulously landscaped parkland, is an urban haven where tenants and biodiversity coalesce in harmony. In FY23/24, we celebrated the park’s 8th year of achieving the Wildlife Trust’s Biodiversity award. Beyond the bustling offices, this green oasis is committed to nurturing and enhancing the environment, striking a harmonious balance between nature and business, with wildflower meadows, lime trees, lavender, and ivy adorning selected areas, creating a picturesque space for wildlife.
A flood channel through Green Park has also been widened and landscaped to provide an aesthetic setting for the buildings and now attracts a wide range of wildlife.
Beyond the foliage, Green Park is also a birdwatcher’s paradise. The park has witnessed a remarkable 7% in occupancy of bird boxes, with an impressive array of species making it their home. Cormorants, Grey Herons, Greylag Geese, Blackbirds, Swans, and Mallards coexist harmoniously, creating a vibrant avian community. Green Park also sees its resident bees, comfortably housed in two rooftop hives and is home to thirty bat boxes, perched high in the trees, contributing to a rich ecological tapestry.
