Each year the ecology department hold an awards event for good practice and innovative projects for all the MoJ sites (prisons, probation offices etc). During the covid pandemic this couldn’t go ahead as usual. So, it was decided to create a ‘yearbook’ to simply celebrate all the good things that the sites have been doing.This has been so successful that the director have requested this to become a yearly document.

 

The yearbook is now in it's 5th year and is to run alongside the ecology awards to showcase the winners and to promote all the work that is done within MoJ sites who were not able to enter the competition or didn't win.

From the success of the yearbook, a commissioned to produce a ‘Pond information board’ in association with the Animals Reptile Group (ARG), for the ‘Ponds in Every Prison’ initiative. These are currently being installed into ever prison and sites with ponds. I am currently working on an information board for the orchards unitive project. The number of boards has grown to included hedgerows and orchards.

The scope of MoJ work has now expanded into more offical documantation for the ecology team such as a series of guide on specific ecology topics, wildlife, invasive plants and security.
