This session is being delivered as part of Buglife’s Landscapes for Wild Pollinators project and Brighton and Hove’s Wilder Verges Project.
Buglife is part of the Changing Chalk partnership led by the National Trust and is supported by players of National Lottery Heritage Fund and Peoples Postcode Lottery. This planting is supported by Hive19 in partnership with GreenTheUK .
The Wilder Verges Project started in 2022, Brighton and Hove conducted a pilot lessening the mowing rate on 23 verges throughout the city. This boosted biodiversity by linking up nature, parks and gardens throughout the city to the Downs. Through the Wilder Verges project, new pollinator or downland plant species not previously recorded, were found on 70% of the sites in the first year.
