'No Mow May' returns
Following last year’s successful trails we are continuing with 'No Mow May' in designated locations across the District.
Mowing less frequently helps provide habitat for wildlife. This will encourage birds and a variety of insects. Long grass is also able to capture more carbon and store it in the soil and is all part of the Council's Action Plan for Nature.
