Yorkshire Nature Reserve Enhances Accessibility with Recycled Materials

Yorkshire Water has taken significant steps to improve accessibility at Tophill Low Nature Reserve in East Yorkshire, crafting a more inclusive environment for wheelchair users. By repurposing 25,000 tonnes of recycled soil and materials from a nearby water treatment works improvement project, the firm has not only prevented waste from heading to landfill but also enhanced the reserve’s facilities. These materials were used to construct accessible viewing platforms and new natural habitats, including a pond now home to the great crested newt, a hibernaculum for grass snakes, and a bat roost tunnel. This initiative not only opens the reserve to a broader audience but also supports biodiversity through thoughtful ecological management.
