Eco Map: Green roof

Green roof

This living, green roof made from Sedum not only attracts a range of insects and birds but also benefits the Centre as it provides natural insulation.

Sedum is a tough alpine plant that can look after itself in the most demanding conditions. The absorbent nature of this plant means that it soaks up rainwater reducing the need for guttering.

The whole roofing system uses recycled materials that would otherwise have been dumped into landfill sites and helps to create a relaxing, natural environment for our visitors.
