For several years now a determined group of volunteers have been rescuing newts and toads from the Chiswick Business Park where they hibernate before heading to the lake in Spring to spawn. Here are two case studies, written by Sivi Sivanesan, that cover the work that has been carried out so far. The first case study explains the site and where the amphibians tend to be rescued from drains and the second study explains how some of the site has helpful habitats and other parts not. The final stage discussed the likelyhood of whether the site would be deemed as 10% Biodiversity Net Gain.
