EnvironmentEstate ManagementWoodlandsAlderley Park has around 150 acres of woodland, much of it classed by English Nature/DEFRA as ‘ancient woodland’ in that it has been in existence for many hundreds of years. There are also 2 areas with S.B.I designation (sites of biological importance) at grade A and B levels. These are Radnor Mere and surrounds and The Boys Walk wood.

Within the woodlands are an abundance of flora and fauna, included several rare and protected species (great crested newts, badgers setts, kingfishers, heronry, several bat species), all of which means that the area needs sensitive environmental management.

The woodland areas are currently managed in line with a woodland management program. This is a long term plan, the aim of which is to gradually reduce the existing plantations of coniferous trees, planted as cash crop in the 1960’s (low amenity, low conservation and habitat value), and to replace these with a mix of native broadleaved tree species to ensure improved biodiversity and habitat value, and ensure the sustainability of the woodlands for future generations.

The woodland management program is currently in its 3rd five year cycle. Three major thinning operations of the coniferous plantations have taken place, and several areas have been clear-felled and replanted with a mix of native broadleaved tree species. Over the past 15 years, approximately 30,000 trees have been planted at Alderley Park. The result has been a much improved woodland structure, offering much greater habitat diversity and sustainability.

The woodland management program is agreed with and grant aided by the Forestry Commission, and as such is self financing. Sale of timber from thinning/clear-felling operations pays for all replanting and ongoing maintenance costs associated with ensuring the health and survival of the newly planted trees. All ongoing maintenance of the woodland areas is carried out by estates staff, including safety inspection and remedial action to trees, clearance of invasive rhododendron growth, and maintenance and clearance of all tracks and pathways throughout the woodland areas. Annual management grants are received from the Forestry Commission to support this.

Nature trailsThroughout the woodland areas, and extending around the parkland and historic building areas of site, a series of nature trails have been developed, and associated natural history and wildlife guides produced, giving informative and educational material about the site history and resident wildlife.

These nature trails and guides have been created and are maintained to offer and encourage staff to access the wider areas of the site, and, like the parkland pathways mentioned previously, are very popular with staff for relaxation and recreation purposes.

Environmental initiativesAs part of the ongoing management strategy, environmental initiatives are undertaken by the estates team to promote and enhance biodiversity across the site. Recent examples include –Reed bed restoration – clearance of invasive rhododendron growth along Radnor Mere shore, and replanting with reed bed plants

Sand Martin/Kingfisher nesting bank – an artificial nesting bank at Radnor Mere created to encourage nesting of these species. Has proved to be a successful nesting site for Kingfishers (a Schedule 1 protected bird species)

Bird box scheme – around 150 nesting boxes, plus barn owl, kestrel and bat boxes have been located right across the estate.

Designated conservation areas (ice house wood, wildflower slope), where rare and/or unusual plants are found. These areas are also used to relocate rare plants affected by building works in other areas of the site

Alderley Park has 15 areas of water within its boundary totaling around 25 acres. Many of these are stocked with fish and used by the Club AZ angling society. These are monitored and maintained by estates staff, including clearance of in/out flows, and clearance of bank sides to ensure healthy waters. Four ponds within the woodland areas that had become stagnant and overgrown have been renovated by dredging and vegetation clearance to return them to healthy waterways and important wildlife habitats.

Development of Alderley Park Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP)

- this document details an update of the original Biodiversity Action Plan drafted in 2007 which followed the Phase 1 habitat survey of the Alderley Park site undertaken in 2006 and 2007.

- the Phase 1 habitat classification and associated field surveys recorded the semi-natural vegetation and other wildlife habitats. Each habitat type/feature was defined following JNCC (Joint Nature Conservation Council)guidelines and was assessed for its potential to support protected or notable species as defined in the Cheshire Regional Biodiversity action plan.

-this update continues to follow Cheshire’s regional BAP and the UK BAP, and in accordance with revised legislation such as the 2010 habitat regulations. Accordingly it comprises a Habitat Action Plan (HAP) and a Species Action Plan (SAP) which focuses on habitats and species of regional (and national) importance, as well as more common indicator species.

-the HAP is a strategy for maintaining and improving habitats on site, with the overall objective of maintaining or enhancing their use by wildlife (plant and animal) species. The SAP provides a focus on key species, which are representative of the site’s wildlife in the context of the region’s important wildlife. )

-both involve managing biodiversity actively or passively and encouraging or discouraging species on site, along with monitoring the abundance and distribution of these species as indicators of performance against specific targets. These and other key performance indicators are to gauge the success of habitat and wildlife management in conjunction with the management of site facilities and operations

Biodiversity Data Base – bespoke database developed for recording of all biodiversity data. Site divided into habitat areas (JNCC classification) and surveys undertaken to record flora/fauna observed in each area. Added to and updated as new records are submitted. Accesible to all staff to promote/ increase awareness of biodiversity across the site.

EnvironmentBiodiversity and Estate Sustainability

BackgroundThe Alderley Park estate is recognised as a unique asset for the site. Extending to 400 acres, it comprises –80 acres of developed land – buildings/car parks etc. (20% total area).100 acres of parkland/ grassland (26% total area).150 acres of woodland (40% total area).25 acres of lakes/ponds (6.25% total area).15 acres of sports facilities (1.5% total area).25 acres of amenity grassland/ trees (6.25% total area).

The FarmThe farmland makes up the majority of the land area in the central area of the site. There are approximately 100 acres of permanent pasture grassland. This is managed by selective sheep and cattle grazing, to give a cost effective and environmentally sound way of managing the area. The extensive grazing strategy means -animal stocking rates are kept deliberately low (approx 2.5 sheep/acre) to ensure the grassland is not overgrazed.

Artificial fertilizer usage rates have been reduced - now approx. 50% of grazing area receives less than 50kg/nitrogen p/hectare, remaining 50% receives NO fertilizer., helping to maintain healthy sward of native grass species.

Small herd of rare breed cattle (British Whites) introduced in 2002 to offer different grazed habitats for invertibrates/insects, small mammals etc.

Blanket weed spraying replaced by selective (spot) spraying to further protect native grass/wildflower sward.

All winter fodder (hay/silage) made on farm

Member of DEFRA/Natural England Environmental Stewardship scheme

The farm has Farm Assured Welfare status (FABBL), and is run to high standards of animal husbandry and welfare.

The farm is also managed to maximize use of the land area by staff and visitors for recreation and staff welfare. Over recent years a network of signed pathways through the farmland had been developed linking together the Mereside, Parklands and Alderley House areas of site.

Estates staff also provide a farm open weekend at lambing time for staff and their families, giving them the opportunity to experience farming practices at close hand and an insight into how and why the farm and estate is managed. Local environmental and wildlife groups also attend, manning display stands/interactive demonstrations etc.

Everton FC (Goodison Park)

‘Small Fixes Which Make a

Big Difference’

SUSTAINABILITY

Everton Football Club

Liverpool, England

• Sustainable architecture is architecture

that seeks to minimize the negative

environmental impact of buildings by

efficiency and moderation in the use of

materials, energy, and development space.

• Sustainable architecture uses a

conscious approach to energy and

ecological conservation in the design of the

built environment.

THE REALITY

• When Goodison Park was constructed,

SUSTAINABILITY was definitely not a priority and

probably not even in the minds of the architects

and engineers that constructed the stadium.

• Goodison Park was not designed with

sustainability in mind, so we have to engineer

sustainability into the architecture when ever the

opportunity arises.

• Everton FC (Goodison Park) won the ‘Sustainability Award’

for their ‘Small Fixes Which Make a Big Difference’ entry at

The Stadium Business Awards 2013.

• Everton saw off competition from Wolfsburg, the Millennium Stadium in

Cardiff, Manchester United’s Old Trafford, the Aviva Stadium in Dublin

and Marlins Park in Miami to win the award. Wembley Stadium were

the 2012 winners.

• The judging panel’s published comments revealed: “Everton's

submission impressed on so many levels – technical detail, costing's,

lifetime carbon reduction, budget ROIs, but also in the context that its

sustainability goals were achieved in one of the oldest operating

stadiums in the world.”

2013 Winners In Focus – Sustainability

Project Overview

Finding sustainable cost effective projects to reduce

energy within Goodison Park is challenging.

We looked at boiler renewal and solar panels, but

these had large capital expenditure costs with

payback periods of up to 20 years.

Our goal is to secure a new stadium for Everton,

so payback periods are critical to any project.

THE CRITERIA

• Realistic capital expenditure costs.

• Short payback periods (3-5 years or

• Minimal disruption to the operation.

• Measurable energy and cost savings

• Sustainability

It was felt that lighting as well as being highly

visible, was contributing to a large portion

of our energy consumption.

• Some lamp samples were put on test in

our offices, a 10 watt Phillips self-

contained cool white LED was eventually

chosen.

• To maximize the benefits of this project

we negotiated a 5 year replacement

guarantee with Phillips, with the proviso

that we would retain our existing fittings

and transformers.

We decided to install motion sensors in

some rooms to maximize energy savings.

These were to be purchased from our

maintenance budget on an on-going basis

to reduce capital costs.

This would reduce energy even further, but

we did not calculate this into our figures as

it was an unknown.

New LED lights in our Dixie Dean Lounge

The project in numbers

Initially we decide to replace 880 x 50W dichroic lamps and 20 x 100W

AR111 down lighters with the 10W LED equivalents.

Energy costs and carbon emissions before

the project.

(880 x 50w = 44 000W) = 44 Kw + (20 x 100W = 2000W) = 2Kw: Total = 46

10 hours per day, 325 days per year: 3250 hrs.

46 x 3250: 149 500 KWh.

Average rate = 8.6p per KWh

Annual running cost £12 857

Annual carbon emissions 61 490 kgCO2

Energy costs and carbon emissions after the

project.

(880 x 10W = 8 800W) = 8.8 Kw + (20 x 40W) = 800W = 0.8Kw: Total =

10 hours per day, 325 days per year: 3250 hrs.

9.6 x 3250: 31 200 KWh

Average rate = 8.6p per KWh

Annual running cost £2 683

Annual carbon emissions 12 298 kgCO2

Annual savings

Annual electricity cost before project:

£12 857Annual electricity cost after project:

£ 2 683

Cost saving: £10 174

Annual carbon emissions before project:

61 490 kgCO2

Annual carbon emissions after project:

12 298 kgCO2

Carbon Reduction: 49 192 kgCO2

Capital costs and Pay back period

• The new lamp cost was £18.74 x 900 = £16 866

• With an annual energy cost saving of £10 174 and a 5 year

manufacturers guarantee we will see a saving of £50 870 over the 5

year life of the project.

• The carbon emissions reduction over the same period is a

significant 245 960kgCO2 (nearly a quarter of a million tons) over

the life of the project.

The lamps were fitted by our own electricians, so there was no

additional labour cost or any disruption to the operation with this

project.

From the figures above we can see that the payback period was

around 18 months, which fitted perfectly with what we wanted to

achieve.

Conclusion & Future Initiatives

• This project is on-going and we will be fitting more

LED lamps over the coming closed seasons.

• We have also replaced or are in the process of

replacing all our air-conditioning units with the

latest low energy units available on the market.

• We try where possible to engineer sustainability

into all our new projects by using the latest energy

saving technology, sustainably produced products

and the latest building and construction methods.

Although this was not a multi-million pound hi

tech endeavour, this has been and continues to

be an extremely viable cost effective initiative

that delivers on all the criteria that we had hoped

to achieve.

Other Environmental InitiativesWe currently recycle glass, cardboard, plastics, office paper, all our

With the purchase of a bailing machine this summer , we will

be able to bail all our cardboard and plastic, this enables us

to sell this on to the highest bidder.

We also sell on all our WEEE which includes computers and

mobile phones (All data is erased and they are sold on with

any profit going to our charity EITC)

Waterless urinals are used throughout the stadium.
