Established in 1973, the infrastructure service provider has since grown and developed to support a variety of different infrastructure projects. Their commitment to the environment is one of the core principles they set out as part of their corporate social responsibility.
Because of this, Cappagh have kindly offered their expertise, time and resources to help improve two of our important reserves, demonstrating their commitment to supporting the Trust’s strategic goals. This partnership not only supports our local environment and community, but also helps to improve the overarching sustainability and biodiversity in Hampshire.
Farlington Marshes holds international importance for its populations of wading birds and wildfowl. Improvements to this unique wetland habitat will help provide a better habitat for breeding waders. At St Clair’s Meadow, the works will allow the Trust to continue its conservation grazing, as well as improve the open water areas for snipe, benefitting the myriad of wildlife that calls it home.
It has been great speaking to Alan Skipper, Operations Director at Cappagh, as the plans have developed. Alan shared, “Cappagh are delighted to enter into partnership with Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust. The environment, biodiversity and wildlife in general are at the core of everything Cappagh undertakes. We are excited to start on several projects commencing shortly with the improvement works at Farlington Marshes and to work closely with the Trust to enhance these beautiful spaces, the wildlife that inhabits them, and the local community.”
