Reviving Nature and Team Spirit: KWL Gardening Club’s Wildlife Patch

Transformation

At KWL, environmental stewardship is not just a policy – it’s a deeply ingrained part of our culture, shaped by the core values chosen by our people. This commitment shines through in the work of the KWL Environmental Group, which has launched a Gardening Club to rejuvenate the wildlife patch at our head office. What was once an overgrown and neglected area is now a vibrant hub of activity, creativity, and teamwork. Through their collective efforts, team members are transforming this space into a thriving haven for biodiversity while strengthening bonds and showcasing their skills.

A Vision for Wildlife

The wildlife patch was originally designed to attract pollinators and other essential creatures through wildflower planting and the installation of bug houses made from recycled materials. While the initial efforts showed promise, last year’s results were underwhelming, with weeds overtaking the flowers. Recognising the potential of this space, the Environmental Group stepped in with renewed energy and expertise to ensure its success.

Teamwork in Action

Members of the Environmental Group are now managing the wildlife patch on a rota basis, dedicating a few hours each week during working hours to cultivate and maintain the area. This initiative not only taps into their gardening skills but also serves as an excellent team-building exercise. By working together toward a shared goal, employees strengthen their bonds while contributing to a greener future.

Why It Matters

The transformation of this wildlife patch aligns perfectly with KWL’s team-chosen core values of sustainability and community engagement. Here’s why this initiative is so impactful – it supports biodiversity, benefits the environment, enhances employee engagement and supports team building.

Looking Ahead

The Environmental Group is determined to make this wildlife patch thrive once again. With continued care and dedication, the area will become a vibrant haven for biodiversity – and an inspiring example of what teamwork can achieve.

KWL’s Gardening Club is more than just a workplace initiative; it’s a call to action for environmental awareness and sustainability.
