A Greener Journey Starts Here
At West Midlands Metro, we're proud to grow more than just connections - we're cultivating a cleaner, safer and more sustainable future for our reigion.
As part of our environmental commitment, our Civil Works team at MML has begun installing Eco-Islands at tram stops across the network.
These vibrant wildflower zones are designed to support biodiversity, attract pollinators, and create vital habitats for local wildlife — all while adding natural beauty to your everyday journey.
Eco-Islands are low-maintenance green spaces planted with native wildflowers.
Carefully designed to thrive in urban settings, they require minimal upkeep and offer maximum ecological benefit. They’re more than just pretty patches — they’re living ecosystems that bring nature back into the heart of our communities.
Bees, butterflies, moths, hoverflies, and wasps are drawn to the nectar-rich blooms, helping them feed, reproduce, and pollinate nearby plants.
Ladybirds, lacewings, and ground beetles help control pests like aphids, keeping the ecosystem balanced and healthy.
As wildflowers go to seed, they provide food for birds like finches and sparrows.
Taller growth offers shelter and nesting spots, while the wider habitat supports hedgehogs, mice, bats, and amphibians.
Eco-Islands aren’t just beautiful – they’re powerful tools for environment restoration and climate resilience.
Here’s what they do:
By introducing Eco-Islands, we’re:
Creating greener, more sustainable public spaces for everyone
