A report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath (copy attached).

The Superintendent introduced the report on sustainable planting, noting that it was inspired by the need to identify £55,000 of savings. Staff had been tasked to replace expensive seasonal bedding and had been inspired in large part by the American Ambassador’s Residence in Regent’s Park to adopt sustainable planting. The new approach reduced bedding costs, staff time, water usage and promoted a more diverse habitat, as well as being aesthetically pleasing.
