Wild Bloomsbury

Wild Bloomsbury is one of Sustainable ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº's three signature campaigns. It aims to improve biodiversity, support wellbeing, build climate resilience and reduce air pollution for our local community. As part of the campaign ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº has committed to adding 10,000m2 of additional biodiverse space by 2024.

What is ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº doing?


¹û¶³Ó°Ôº research shows that bringing nature into urban environments provides a range of ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration, surface water management, summer cooling, cleaner air and improved health and wellbeing. 

  • We have partnered with academics, students, professional staff and external partners to develop a Wild Boomsbury Plan.
  • We have implemented 4,819 m2 of additional biodiverse space on campus since 2019.
  • We are working with ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Estates to deliver the rest through capital projects.
  • We have developed innovative nature-based solutions with our community through a living laboratory approach.
  • We have added cycling and walking infrastructure to encourage active travel and reduce air pollution.
  • We have moved our postal-team to cargo bikes.
