Dingley Dell provides a haven for wildlife including muntjac deer, in Caversham.

Located by Peel Close, by the Caleta Close play area was earmarked for improvements after Nikki Drury went to the council asking for help transforming the overgrown woodland.

Volunteers, working along with the council team to spruce up the council owned site.

Community charity The Conservation Volunteers worked with the Berkshire Biodiversity Action Team to clear rubbish from the site.

Buffy Harris-Jones, from The Conservation Volunteers, said:“It has been a pleasure to work on this urban green space transformation and to meet lot of enthusiastic people.

“This lovely bit of green space was definitely overlooked and even some people that lived next door didn’t realise it was there.

"I hope by opening it up and clearing the rubbish we are making it safer and more inviting for local families to use and explore.”

Reading Green Gym then helped dig and woodchip a path so families could enjoy the mini reserve.

It's hoped bird and bat boxes, along with hedgehog homes and a bug hotel could even come to the site.

Liz Terry, Lead Member for Neighbourhoods, said: “It is wonderful to see how this project has taken off from a simple suggestion from an interested resident to involving so many people.

“This overgrown piece of land has been transformed thanks to the hard work of local residents and volunteers.

“It is a real haven for wildlife and I hope it will provide many hours of enjoyment and learning opportunities for local families in the future.”
