Working For a More Biodiverse Horsham

Horsham Park

Your local councillors are working for a more biodiverse town and District.
Horsham District Council (“HDC”), working in conjunction with Sussex Wildlife Trust as part of its Wilder Horsham District initiative, is once again embracing a ‘no mow’ principle in selected parts of HDC’s parks and our ‘green lungs’ to help nature to flourish and improve biodiversity.
Instead of cutting the grass regularly, it is being left to grow throughout the summer. This will then be cut and collected in late August with the grass clippings being removed and composted.
The sites which have all been previously trialled include selected spaces in Horsham Park, a pocket park at Manor Fields, a semi-woodland yet residential area at Tanbridge Park, open spaces connected to the Riverside Walk and established meadows along the Billingshurst bypass path.
In addition, many areas at our countryside sites including Southwater Country Park and Warnham Nature Reserve have been managed in this way for many years, with visitors and residents enjoying the different habitats they provide.
