In addition, the toolkit provides information to help housing providers support their estate care and environment teams to engage residents with wildlife. The project team comprised staff working at the UK Centre for Ecology \& Hydrology, Southern Housing Group, the Association of Local Environmental Records Centres, Bracknell Forest Council, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust, Bracknell Forest Council and the Thames Valley Environmental Records Centre.
