Nature and Biodiversity - Wildflower meadows
As well as adding colour and interest, these meadows provide an invaluable food and habitat sources for insects and pollinators and also help to:
- reduce the carbon footprint
- introduce more ecological practices
- add value to landscape and natural spaces
- brings wildlife back into town.
Many of these areas are situated on main routes across the borough so that they can be enjoyed by as many residents as possible.
You can view the locations of the mini meadows, wildflower bulbs, established perennial meadows and wildlife corridors in Chorley for the list of all locations.
To support this planting the council also only use peat free compost on our own land and planting schemes.
Why not try creating a wildflower meadow at home.
