Verges for wildlife

Parish Councils are being encouraged to take over the management of selected road verges in their area in order to improve their value for wildlife. So far, over 70 verges have been adopted. Verge surveys by NatureSpot have revealed a surprising diversity of flora with an average of over 30 different wildflowers and grasses on each verge. More information can be found here.
