Another example of Blue-Green Network is represented by the Ashford (UK) Green Corridor, a green space that runs right through the English town. The Green Corridor is made up of parks, recreation grounds and other green spaces alongside the rivers that flow through Ashford. It has been designated as a Local Nature Reserve, and is being looked after by a partnership of organizations. Ashford has been growing steadily since the early 19th century. As the town has expanded, land close to the rivers has not usually been built on due to the risk of flooding and has thus been protected as green space. The Green Corridor is managed to cater for all its different users, to maintain facilities, look after the environment and ensure safety. As well as helping people to use the Corridor, habitats for wildlife will be conserved and improved: for example, some areas of grass currently cut on a regular basis will be allowed to grow to provide habitats for a variety of plants and animals. Because the Green Corridor areas are right next to Ashford's rivers, many of them hold floodwater, thus protecting homes and businesses. Ashford's rivers are surprisingly natural considering their urban surroundings, and are home for many wild plants and animals. Kingfishers, grass snakes, dragonflies and damselflies can all be seen. Ponds like the one at Bowen's Field attract amphibians. Singleton Lake, an artificial lake in the area, is a habitat for wetland birds and Buxford Meadow, a wet grassland in the Area, presents an enormous range of plants, insects and other species[1].
