Around 200 trees will be planted at a Norfolk housing development to help make the area more eco-friendly.
Barratt and David Wilson Homes have pledged to boost the biodiversity at their Cringleford Heights site.
The housebuilders will also add an additional two hectares of wildflower meadow to the site, on the outskirts of Norwich.
The project will involve the installation of 50 bird and bat boxes, two hibernacula and log piles, and a number of hedgehog highways that allow the animals to easily move between gardens.
The developers say that since the construction of the housing estate began they have made an effort to retain any plants or trees which existed before building work took place.
Simon Wood, managing director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Anglia, added that it was the housebuilder's "responsibility to ensure that we provide areas where both humans and wildlife can enjoy living together".
