The Hyndburn’s Woodlands were back at Jubilee Meadow on Tuesday 1st April! We were continuing with the meadow maintenance that has been ongoing for 3 years.
In previous years, we have hand scythed the meadow. This time round, we hired a contractor who used a tractor to give the meadow a really good mow! This will hopefully take the grass down to a level that helps promote wildflower seed growth!
We have sown seeds in previous years, last year we put down a lot of Yellow-Rattle seeds. This year, we have gone for a ‘Bee and Butterfly mix’ that will hopefully take and produce a sea of colour for passer-by’s and nature to enjoy!
Thank you to everyone who came along and helped enhance biodiversity in Hyndburn!
As always, thank you to our funders at Lancashire County Council, Hyndburn Borough Council, and the Windfall Fund for making it all possible!
