Category D Project
Myatt's Field Park Playground
	The Myatt's Field Project group used WREF funding to re-develop the under 14's play area in the park, seeing the underused playground equipped with a central educational water feature built around the overall theme of 'migration' of plants, animals and people.
Hammersmith Lyric Theatre Roof Garden
The Lyric Hammermith, Hammersmith London (Business Improvement District) and Groundwork London worked in partnership over 18 months to transform the large concrete terrace above Lyric Square in Hammersmith town centre into an oasis of green, a place to stop, relax and escape from the bustle of daily life and to encourage wildlife into the centre of a concrete jungle.
Category DA Project
Feasibility on the River Wandle
The project enabled the London Wildlife Trust along with its partners to carry out the Phase 1 stage of Feasibility on the Wandle project. This comprised of identifiying the existing species present in the immediate area at King George's Park to ensure that they would not be compromised by the improvement of habitat planned for water voles, identifying small mammals, invertebrates, amphibians and reptiles and birds that are using the stretch of riverbank and an assessment of any in-channel biodiversity interest and proposals to restore the river to provide suitable habitat for water voles.
