Commonwealth Games Legacy Planting

Community and Schools Development, BALI Award 2022

BALI awards are judged by a panel of acclaimed industry experts who demand the highest level of professional excellence and ensure winners represent the very best in landscape construction and design.

Ground Control has partnered with Severn Trent, the ‘Official Nature and Carbon Neutral Supporter’ of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, and Earthwatch to create a positive social and environmental legacy across the West Midlands and to support the wider game’s effort to become the first carbon-neutral Commonwealth Games. Whilst supporting the Commonwealth games goals, the project also aims to increase biodiversity whilst engaging the local community and providing a platform for environmental education.
