Is there a right time to mow your wildflower meadow? 🌼🐝 In this short video, I share my expert advice on when and how to cut your meadow for optimal biodiversity: • If you can, wait until pollinators have finished feeding • Mow in stages (1/3 per week) to protect wildlife • Trust your judgment on the best timing for your specific meadow Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all approach. The key is balancing conservation with practical management. If you need help managing your wildflower meadows or have questions about land management, feel free to reach out https://lnkd.in/e4GBq8vd! I'm here to support you in creating thriving ecosystems. What's your experience with meadow maintenance?

Pollinator wildflowers offer continuous flowers, pollen and nectar throughout the growing season. They are hardy and self-seeding, and ideal for reclamation and rehabilitation projects, conservation and pollinator habitats, roadside groundcover, and increasingly in home gardens and yards. Native pollinator plants are not only beneficial for bees, but also for the environment as a whole. They help to reduce erosion, conserve water, and improve soil quality. Moreover, native plants are more resistant to pests and diseases, which means that they require less maintenance and less use of harmful chemicals. By planting native plants, we are also supporting the local ecosystem by providing habitats for other native wildlife, including birds and butterflies. #hydroseedingcertified #hydroseedingcontractor #hydroseedingpro #hydroseedingspecialists #hydroseedingapplicator #hydroseedingcanada #hydroseeding #hydroseedingprofessional #hydroseedinglife #hydroseedingroadside #hydroseed #hydroseeders #hydromulch #hydromulching #landscaping #erosioncontrol #NewBrunswick #SprayItDontLayIt #erosioncontrolproducts #erosionprevention #stormwatersolutions #stormwaterrunoff #bioticearth #bioticsoil #bioticsoilamendment #landscapeconstruction #landscape_specialist #waterdelivery #bulkwater #NBRoadBuilders

🌸🌱 Embrace #NoMowMay! This movement is more than letting your lawn grow wild for a month—it's about sharing our green spaces with small creatures that need them. Lawns cover 40 million acres in the US, but they often lack the floral resources and nesting sites bees and other pollinators need. Why mow less in the Spring? The start of the growing season is critical for hungry, newly emerged native bees. Allowing your lawn to grow longer and letting flowers bloom can provide much-needed nectar and pollen. Mowing less creates habitats and boosts wildlife diversity. Even mowing every 2-3 weeks can help! Let's rethink our lawns to support pollinators and make a big impact on biodiversity. Join the movement for a greener, buzzing lawn this May and the rest of Spring! 🌿💚 #NoMowMay #PollinatorFriendly #SaveTheBees #Biodiversity #EcoFriendly #GardeningForGood #NativePlants

Today we are saying Yes to #ArborDay and restoring vital ecosystems. Menasha is partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant 10,000 trees in Mississippi as a part of the Longleaf Pine Ecosystem reforestation project. Longleaf pines are considered an endangered species, and these new trees will give a home to a variety of keystone and endangered wildlife like gopher tortoises and red-cockaded woodpeckers. To learn more about how Menasha is leading the way to a sustainable future, visit menasha.com/sustainability. #sustainability #circulareconomy #supplychain #cpg #packaging #ArborDayFoundation

This week (7 Feb) we marked Reverse the Red Day. But why?.. Reverse the Red Day expresses the fact that when we pool our knowledge and work together with focus, we can save species. Conservation action works - just look at the Przewalski Horse! Data-driven and propelled by collaboration, Reverse the Red provides the tools and partnerships to unite us around our common commitment to saving species. And, when we say 'our' we mean everyone. We all have a role to play in protecting species - whether we’re NFPs, government agencies, zoos, aquaria, botanical gardens, multinationals, communities, or individuals... #reversethered #savingspecies #conservation #calltoaction

Happy #WorldWildlifeDay! Today is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the abundance and diversity of our local Oxfordshire and Berkshire plants, animals and ecosystems. Oxfordshire supports a number of national/international priority habitats, including chalk grassland, beech woodland, fen, wetland and marshland and is also a critical area for freshwater biodiversity. Similarly, Berkshire boasts many principal habitats such as heathland, wetland, traditional orchards, grassland and woodland. Each of these habitats support a number of nationally rare/threatened birds, mammals, plants and invertebrates, as well as offering research and conservation opportunities. As spring approaches, there is yet more opportunity to get involved in #citizenscience approaches, all of which contribute to conservation efforts in these important ecosystems. So, what local wildlife and habitats do you want to celebrate today #LetsGetRecording #Wildlife #Nature #everyoneneedsnature #UKConservation #Spring

"This place wanted to be a wetland’". Karl Wenner transformed 70 acres of his #Oregon #farm into a #wetland, addressing phosphorus pollution and creating a sanctuary for wildlife. The wetland, part of Lakeside Farms, filters harmful minerals and pollutants, benefiting both the environment and the farm. With federal funding available, Wenner and partners aim to encourage more farmers to adopt similar initiatives, showcasing the potential for large-scale impact. The wetland project is a promising example of a symbiotic solution to environmental challenges, emphasizing the importance of wetlands in conservation efforts. #EnvironmentalConservation #WetlandRestoration #rewilding #rewildingfarms #farmtowetland https://rfr.bz/l7fewml
