Wrose Parish Council Boosts Local Biodiversity on Low Ash Road
We’re excited to share that Wrose Parish Council recently commissioned a small environmental improvement project on a piece of council-owned land along Low Ash Road — and nature is already responding!
What’s is the work about?
The focus was on enhancing biodiversity by creating a welcoming space for wildlife while also ensuring the area looked cared for. The works include:
- Coppicing overgrown trees to allow light in and encourage new growth
- Building a traditional dead hedge – a fantastic habitat for birds, insects, and small mammals
- Mowing green pathways through the long grass to create access and visual interest
- Leaving wide areas of wildflowers untouched, supporting our pollinators and adding natural beauty
🌸 This balance between careful management and wild growth supports a rich mix of species — and already we’ve had our first exciting visitor: a hawk moth has been spotted enjoying the new space! A sure sign that these efforts are making a difference.
👣 Whether you’re out walking, taking the kids for an explore, or just enjoying a moment of calm, we hope this revitalized space offers you something special to view.
💬 We’d love to hear your thoughts or see your photos if you spot any wildlife while passing by. Let’s celebrate Wrose’s growing green spaces, together.
