.. and looks to the future with trees

LINCOLN MGT, the company behind the new Station Hill development, has planted trees across Reading as part of its commitment to biodiversity.

The developer has lent its support to Ethical Reading’s Trees for Reading initiative, which seeks to contribute to the town’s sustainability targets through the strategic planting of trees.

Lincoln MGT has planted six new trees in the area around Southcote Primary School, including two sweet gum trees, a beech tree, and three rowans.

It has also laid out plans for four more trees, as part of an effort to encourage increased biodiversity around the borough.

Evan Reynolds, senior development manager at Lincoln Property Company said:

“Station Hill will positively transform Reading and our support for Trees for Reading demonstrates our commitment to making the town a greener, healthier, and happier place to live for both existing and future residents.

“We are now looking forward to seeing the remaining four trees go in and watching them all grow.”

Gurprit Singh, director and co-founder at Ethical Reading said: “We are thrilled to have Lincoln

MGT contributing to the greening of Reading through this initiative.

“Global warming means urban canopy cover will become ever more precious and every additional tree in the town makes a big difference.

“Thank you to the whole project team for their wonderful support.”

As well as green space and public park space, the new Station Hill development will also see a pedestrian connection between the station and the town centre, increasing accessibility for bicycles and on-foot.

One Station Hill is set to be completed early in 2024.
