Test Valley Borough Council to trial Andover urban meadows

‘Urban meadows’ are to be created across Andover as part of an experiment to bring rare species back to the borough. Sites in Augusta Park and Picket Twenty, as well as St Mary’s Church, are among areas where grass will be left unmown until September as part of a pilot by Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC) to find out whether rare plants and insects, which are negatively affected by regular mowing, will make a comeback. The plans are part of a wider initiative, No Mow May, where gardeners across the county are encouraged to let their garden grow to allow rare species to thrive.

Lawn growers throw in the trowel as meadows replace perfect stripes

Last modified on Mon 15 Mar 2021 13.37 EDT They were once a status symbol for the rich, and later the pride and joy of suburbia. But the immaculately striped, tightly mown lawn is becoming an endangered species. Monty Don this week called time on the predominantly male, British “obsession” with a tidy lawn, arguing that fossil-fuel-powered mowing was noisy and “about the most injurious thing you can do to wildlife”. As gardeners turn lawns into wildflower meadows, or take the eco-conservation charity Plantlife’s increasingly popular #NoMowMay pledge, so stately homes, parks and playing fields are ditching traditional mowing regimes and allowing wildflowers to flourish.

Councils transform road verges for wildflowers as public backs fight for nature

Councils transform road verges for wildflowers as public backs fight for nature Spring flowers bloom on a roadside verge (Matt Pitts/Plantlife/PA) Councils across England are transforming roadside verges to support wildflowers as pressure grows to reverse declines in wildlife, a Freedom of Information request has found. Seven in 10 English councils are using mowing or management regimes alongside roads in their area to boost wildflowers and wildlife such as bees that depend on them, data gathered by the PA news agency suggests. Conservationists say road verges are an overlooked but vital habitat, which are home to more than 700 species of wildflowers, including threatened orchids and other rare plants.

Alpine plants face extinction as melting glaciers force them higher, warns study

Last modified on Fri 29 Jan 2021 00.17 EST Alpine flowers could go extinct after glaciers disappear as more competitive species colonise terrain higher up the mountain, new research has warned. Glaciers are retreating at historically unprecedented rates, exposing new land for plants to grow, which benefits delicate alpine species in the short term. However, these early pioneers – some of which are endemic – soon become endangered as more aggressive species take over, driving them out of their remaining habitat and decreasing overall biodiversity, according to the paper published in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution.
