| 摘要： | Work to upgrade one of the country's busiest junctions is well underway, but it's National Highways' environmental work on the M25 Junction 10 scheme that might be the most remarkable aspect of this £317m project. The scheme, which will help bring the area back to life, will have many long-term benefits to rare and unusual wildlife. The corner of Surrey that surrounds Junction 10 at Wisley is made of ancient heathland - a rare habitat that has declined in the UK by 85% over the last 150 years. National Highways has embarked on a project to restore an area the size of 47 full-sized football pitches [22 hectares] of heathland at Wisley and Ockham commons, close to the Junction 10 site. 'Heathland is a diverse habitat; it provides homes to all kinds of animals, insects, reptiles, and birds,' said Simon Elliott, senior project manager on National Highways' M25 Junction 10 scheme. 'However, in the 1900s, many people didn't think heathland habitats were useful, which meant vast swathes were lost to forests for timber production.' |
