The Sunnylaw Community Greenspace management group continues to work towards improving the biodiversity of the site whilst retaining it’s use for recreation and as a public amenity. The grass has had a first cut of the season. This will be followed by regular cuts of paths and two recreation area thoughout the growing season. It is intended to allow long grass to grow elsewhere, as well as the wildflower areas, which will be cut again at the end of the summer. These provide a wider variety of plants which creates a better habitat for insects, bats and birds ,and also providing climate mitigation services.
