Discover 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 4,236 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 Report provides an overview of our sites and how they are managed and provides the results of annual surveys and monitoring as well as action taken to address the opportunities and challenges our sites face.
