Don't Mow Let It Grow

This exciting project is led by Causeway Coast to focus on the conservation of semi-natural grassland over the next three years.

About

Don’t Mow, Let It Grow is a project which hopes to make small changes to the management of selected public grassland sites to give big benefits to the biodiversity they support.

Aims

  • Trail management options on selected sites for the benefit of biodiversity
  • Look at the wider economic benefits of this management to ecosystem services, health & wellbeing, tourism, cost benefits, etc
  • Promote the benefit to the wider public, through events, talks and information on the benefits to people and biodiversity
  • Provide training to land managers and volunteers on all aspects of the project including site selection, species identification and semi-natural grassland management options
  • Highlight the ever increasing problem of Invasive Alien Species (IAS) and prevent their spread
  • To share all of the project information with other organisation that manage public grasslands, through our website and the production of a management toolkit at the end of the 3 years
