3. Mowing of road
verges
Cotswolds AONB
writes:
As we head into the verge mowing season, we would like to remind
you of the guidance on the Management of Roadside Verges contained with the
Cotswold Conservation Board’s position statement.
With the continuing
loss of wild flower rich grasslands and the pollinators and other insects and
wildlife they support, road verges are becoming increasingly important for
biodiversity. Unfortunately, each year over-zealous or poorly timed mowing leads
to the loss of wildflowers including orchids.
The Position Statement is
available to download from www.birlingham.org/docs/cotswolds_verge_mowing.pdf.
