Bird nesting season and hedgerows

In the UK, bird nesting season is a critical time for avian species to breed and raise their young. It typically begins in March, with National Nest Box Week marking the start of the season, and can extend into August. During this period, birds are actively seeking out safe and suitable places to construct their nests, lay eggs, and nurture their hatchlings.

Celebrating our amazing volunteers at QEOP and Wormwood Scrubs

idverde are very proud of our partnership with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), where together we manage two of London’s most important green spaces for wildlife - Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (QEOP) and Wormwood Scrubs. These sites are home to a rich diversity of habitats and species, from wildflower meadows and wetlands to woodlands and hedgerows. But none of this would be possible without the help of our dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers, who give their time and energy to support our conservation work.

Celebrating our apprentices: A day of inspiration, networking and fun at idverde

At idverde, we are proud of our apprentices and the value they bring to our business. That’s why we hosted a special event at our head office during National Apprenticeship Week 2024 to celebrate their achievements and inspire them for their future careers. The event was a great opportunity for our apprentices to meet and network with each other, as well as with some of our senior leaders and managers. They also listened to talks from guest speakers who shared their stories and advice, and participated in fun and interactive activities.
