Heathrow’s biodiversity sites 

Heathrow currently manages approximately 170 hectares of land across 13 biodiversity sites for nature conservation purposes. These sites make up approximately 10% of the total airport’s land.

Over 3,000 species recorded at the airport including a species of fungus that is completely new to science. 

Heathrow has retained The Wildlife Trust’s Biodiversity Benchmark award since 2008, demonstrating a commitment to biodiversity managment. Ten of our sites currently hold a Biodiversity Benchmark award.

Our biodiversity sites open to the public are Oaks Road, Two Bridges Farm, The Causeway and Cains Lane. Plan a visit soon.

Designed to resemble Heathrow's iconic air traffic control tower, we have launched a birdwatching hideaway where visitors can see a huge range of birds 'coming into land', and other local wildlife.
