The Issue
The new High Speed 2 Railway (HS2) line has the potential to directly impact wildlife in many areas of the region.
Our Position
We recognise that the proposed high speed link could potentially benefit local people and the jobs market, and we are generally supportive of sustainable transport schemes.
However, we believe this must not be achieved at the expense of the natural environment.
What We Have Done
Worked with other potentially affected Wildlife Trusts and partner organisations along the route to share information and good practice as appropriate.
