Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) and the Bee Friendly Trust have completed more than twenty ‘homes for nature’ at six Great Northern stations in and around north London and Hertfordshire: Bayford, Cuffley, Grange Park, Hadley Wood, New Barnet and New Southgate.

Great Northern aims to contribute to enhancing biodiversity on the railway by making its stations more nature friendly.

It hopes that its work will help to preserve wildlife, including the one in six species in the UK which are in danger of extinction.

I love these projects. My local area has a lot because it’s a sort of environmentally friendly area, despite being in the heart of rural bullshit. I wish more individuals would set up small spaces like that.

My area has a lot of native bees that nest in the sort of tubes pictured here. Most people don’t know about them, so we have big awareness hives- like the picture, but more varieties of habitat for more of the local species.

Those bees don’t make honey, they don’t make hives, you hardly know they exist.. but if they don’t, we all lose.
