More peace at Greenham Common
Greenham Common, the cold war military air base and well known peace camp is now to be conserved and managed for its rich and diverse wildlife thanks to the Management Plan written by The Environmental Project Consulting Group for West Berkshire Council's Greenham Common Project.
Along with Crookham Common, the historic commons will be maintained and managed by the reintroduction of grazing and other traditional methods as an area of working open countryside. This is so as to retain and, where possible, increase the high nature conservation interest of the ancient heathlands, grasslands and woodlands present which are also key habitats in both the Berkshire and UK Biodiversity Action Plans.
Visitors to this impressive site will have free access to quietly enjoy and experience the broad open landscapes and many wildlife habitats and also to appreciate the strong historic and cultural origins and more recent cold war military influence.
