NCHA Biodiversity Improvements

Purpose of the study
Thank you for participating in this survey as part of the research project aimed at exploring strategies to increase biodiversity in residential spaces. This research is being conducted by Chris Andrew as part of the University of Nottingham's Environmental Leadership and Management Master's programme in partnership with the Nottingham Housing Community Association (NCHA).

Biodiversity is all the different kinds of life found in an area. The NCHA is looking to improve biodiversity in the areas it manages as part of its Environmental Sustainability Strategy. This will involve planting a greater variety of plants and building wildlife habitats. Responses to this survey will help inform the NCHA on which improvements are supported by residents and help the NCHA make improvements that meet the needs of local people and the environment.

If you would like to know more about biodiversity, please read the World Wildlife Fund's page, which covers what biodiversity is and why it is important.
