Specialist conservation operatives from Open Space will commence with the first phase of meadow restoration this week, on Crosscanonby Carr Nature Reserve and Milefortlet 21.
This is part of the exciting ‘Get Cumbria Buzzing’ 🐝🎋 project which aims to tackle the decline in bees and other pollinators by creating safe havens and pollinator highways across the whole of Cumbria. Work starts by creating the right environment for native meadow seed to thrive. This requires extensive ground preparation such as: cut and collects; removal of invasive species; chain harrowing; and the sowing of yellow rattle seed which is semi-parasitic on grasses.
These steps will create the right environment in the sward for sowing of other native meadow seed in year two.
❗️ Watch this space to find out more. 🐝

The weather has been lovely over recent weeks but it does mean that from the dunes in South of the AONB to the bogs in the North everything is very dry. Please take care, the fire hazard is very high.

Our garden waste collections restarted today – thanks to the vast majority of residents who played their part in helping them return successfully by only placing one bin out and ensuring they weren’t too heavy.
Check when your next collection is: https://t.co/XpxpFz9ZWZ https://t.co/3hrA6DlX18
