London Golf Club partners with Eagle Heights Wildlife Foundation
Here at London Golf Club, as guardians to over 700 acres of land we are always striving to follow best sustainable practices in a bid to make our environment – and our golf courses – as sustainable as possible.
That includes ensuring the golf courses are a haven for wildlife.
At the start of autumn, we were delighted to welcome the team from Eagle Heights Wildlife Foundation to London Golf Club.
One of the UK’s original bird of prey centres, the Kent-based non-profit organisation works across the region, caring for animals and supporting conservation work.
On site, the team installed nest boxes across the golf courses for local kestrels and barn owls ready for the 2026 breeding season.
These incredible birds are struggling to find safe nesting sites due to habitat loss. This collaboration will provide secure homes where they can raise their young and thrive. Both are essential for controlling rodent populations and keeping our ecosystem balanced.
This is just the start of our conservation journey with them. Their team will monitor the boxes to track nesting success and gather valuable data.

“Golf courses like London Golf Club are unsung heroes of wildlife conservation. Their expansive grasslands create perfect hunting corridors for Kestrels and Barn Owls, while the quieter areas provide ideal nesting opportunities. This partnership shows how recreational spaces can become vital wildlife sanctuaries.”
“What excites us most about this collaboration is the long-term vision. These nest boxes are just the beginning – we’re creating a model that other golf courses across the region can follow. London Golf Club is leading by example, showing that sport and conservation can work hand in hand.”
“The beauty of this partnership lies in its simplicity and impact. By providing secure nesting sites on London Golf Club’s grounds, we’re directly addressing one of the biggest challenges facing these magnificent birds. It’s conservation that makes an immediate, measurable difference to local wildlife populations.”Director, Eagles Heights | Samantha Leonard
We are thrilled to be part of this partnership. Experiencing the conservation efforts firsthand on the golf courses is a proud moment for the club, and we’re excited about what lies ahead. A big thank you to the team at Eagle Heights for their dedication and hard work in making this initiative a reality.
