Pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hoverflies are becoming increasingly rare in the UK — mainly due to habitat loss and fewer sources of food.

That’s why grass cutting on Council land is changing in some areas.

🌿 Grass will still be mown — but in a way that lets plants grow taller and flower, providing essential nectar and pollen for pollinators.
 
🌿 It also creates shelter for other wildlife and helps protect the soil during hot weather.

🦋 Changes to mowing is about saving wildlife, not reducing costs.
