NPT Bee Friendly - Encouraging Wildflowers on the Verges and Grasslands in NPT

Neath Port Talbot (NPT) Council is encouraging wildflowers on the verge, by changing the way we manage grasslands.
In certain areas, we are putting away the mowers for the summer months to allow the flowers to grow. We will then use ‘cut and collect’ machines in the autumn to cut and remove the cuttings, keeping soil nutrient levels low.
By encouraging wildflowers to grow, we are supporting pollinators like bumblebees and butterflies.
