The volunteer group have been using the traditional meadow cutting method of scything to cut a wildflower meadow at the Centre. By cutting the meadow this way, the budding ‘Poldarks’ were conserving the wildflowers by helping them to spread their seed for the following year, whilst making sure important pollinators such as bees and butterflies using the meadow as their home were safe.
“We’re really excited to be working with the NeuroMuscular Centre,” said Catherine de Zwaan, Cheshire Wildlife Trust’s Natural Futures Manager, who leads the volunteering team at the Trust. “There are opportunities for us to support the Centre in making areas of their garden more wildlife-friendly, so we will be visiting them a few more times – our volunteers are really enjoying it.”
