Road verge
Total species seen at this site:
This verge is now being managed to improve biodiversity as part of the County Council/Parish Council Verges Biodiversity Project. Mowing will cease between April and August to allow the grasses and wildflowers to grow and bloom. In some cases, verges may also have additional native wildflower species added, either as seed or as plug plants.
The verge will be surveyed in June by NatureSpot but we would welcome any wildlife records from the community, whether plants, animals or fungi.
By managing grassland verges as wildflower meadows they will support a much greater diversity of wildlife. Different species come and go throughout the year so we will get a much better understanding of the wildlife value of this site if local residents can add records of what they have seen. Please take a photo if possible and include it with your record, using NatureSpot's Submit Records form. Once checked and accepted your record and any photos will appear on this page!
A list of all the species found at the site, together with any images taken, will appear below.
Note: the verge boundaries shown on the map are indicative, please refer to the signage on the ground for the exact location.
