The London Borough of Bromley Enhanced Biodiversity Report (2021 to 2025):
This report demonstrates Bromley’s compliance with the Environment Act 2021. Our top achievements include:
Bromley is London’s Greenest Borough, and we have made great strides to conserve biodiversity. Some of our achievements between 2021 to 2025 include:
- Kelsey Park Desilting Project successfully concluded in March 2025. This work helped to improve the water quality of the lake and habitats for wildlife. Overtime will help improve the biodiversity of the local area.
- Six successful micro forest planting. The projects involved planting a variety of native tree species, and once they establish, they will become a haven for biodiversity within Bromley’s green spaces.
- Bromley conducted Nature-Friendly Verges (NFV) trials across 11 sites between 2023 and 2025, with 8 sites subsequently converted into permanent NFVs. Biodiversity increased significantly, with 80 unique floral species recorded at the start of the trial in 2023, rising to 147 species by 2025. A new trial is currently underway across 5 additional sites.
- Since 2023, Bromley has conducted a Sustainable Planting Trial across 10 flower beds throughout the borough. The trial partially replaces planting that relies heavily on annuals with a mixture of perennials. Through surveys many different species have been recorded such as 17 species of bees, 18 beetle species including the Welsh Chafer Beetle and 13 spider species.
