Road verge
Site species count:
This verge is being managed to improve biodiversity by being cut only twice each year. In between these cuts it is allowed to grow and provide meadow habitat that can support a much greater diversity of wildlife species compared to mown grassland. It was surveyed in 2021 by NatureSpot but we would welcome additional wildlife records from the community, whether plants, animals or fungi. Different species come and go throughout the year so we will get a much better understanding of the biodiversity value of this site if local residents can add records of what they have seen. Please take a photo if possible and include it with your record, using NatureSpot's Submit Records form. Once checked and accepted your record and any photos will appear on this page.
A list of all the species found at the site, together with any images taken, will appear below once the survey has taken place.
The survey revealed a number of interesting plant species that are often found in quality meadow. These include Autumn Hawkbit, Black Medick and Red Clover. The overall species number was 32 flora species which represents a good diversity for a verge of this size.
The records and images below may include those from adjacent sites if the grid reference submitted with these records overlaps the boundary of this Wild Place.
The records displayed below include those awaiting verification checks so we cannot guarantee that every identification is correct. Once accepted, the record displays a green tick.
