Biodiversity on our campuses
Find out more about our work to continually enhance and engage with the natural environment on campus.
City Campus
Following feedback from colleagues and students, we have focused on creating more green space and gardens on our City Campus. This will help us to enhance the biodiversity of our university environment, whilst creating relaxing spaces to study and work.
Clifton Campus
With 32 hectares of green space, Clifton Campus is the perfect environment for students, colleagues and visitors to enjoy. The campus has been awarded the Green Flag since 2012.
Brackenhurst Campus
Brackenhurst Campus is at the heart of the university’s Embracing Sustainability strategy. With a vast array of wildlife, and acres of green space, it’s the ideal outdoor classroom. This campus has been awarded a Green Flag since 2012.
Hedgehog Friendly Campus
NTU has made a commitment to help the UK’s Hedgehog population as part of the Hedgehog Friendly Campus Initiative.
Peregrine Falcons
Over twenty years ago, a pair of breeding Peregrine Falcons chose a window ledge of level 9 on NTU’s Newton building as their nesting site. These beautiful birds of prey are legally protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
Green rewards
Staff and students are making a big impact through the NTU Green Rewards programme by sharing their green actions and taking part in more sustainable and wellbeing behaviours. Through an easy to use, free app, you can log your actions, take part in monthly challenges and earn points to win prizes
Students and colleagues
There are many ways that students and colleagues can support NTU’s strategy of Embracing Sustainability, through formal learning opportunities and informal events and activities.
Events
Each Year NTU host a Green Week in term one and a Sustainability Action Week in term two. There are also a wide range of other dedicated events from one off workshops and panels, to campaigns such as Fairtrade Fortnight
