Heathrow adds bird watching tower to airfield

0

The Nature Traffic Control Tower at Causeway Nature Reserve mimics Heathrow’s iconic control tower design.

Visitors can view 79 bird species, including kingfishers and barn owls, during guided tours.

The reserve supports a diverse range of wildlife, including rare spiders, beetles, and over 30 butterfly species.

The River Crane flows through the site and serves as a habitat for the European eel.

Heathrow’s commitment to biodiversity is underscored by its continuous conservation efforts across the seasons.

Thomas Woldbye CEO of Heathrow shared: “Our work to support nature happens all year round – from introducing cattle to graze habitats in spring, to discovering new-to-science fungi in our woodlands in autumn, and rotational hedgerow management in winter. Maintaining and restoring nature is a priority for Heathrow, and we hope this birdwatching experience helps bring our Nature Positive Plan to life and shows travellers that Heathrow is committed to biodiversity, giving them greater confidence in their travel choices.”
