The project to encourage and support wildflower growth on the verges is in support of the North York Moors National Park’s Grubs Up! project.
GrubsUp! aims to restore, enhance and connect precious habitat for invertebrates, increase species abundance and boost resilience in the face of climate change. The project has a community focus, bringing together both people and places with nature.
Road verges
Areas of road verge, away from junctions and sight lines, make fantastic grassland habitats if they can be left to grow long until flowers have had chance to set seed. We have funding to enhance the diversity of verges through the addition of native wildflower and grass seed where appropriate, to create a connective corridor for pollinators.
