Contract for Hay Cut 2021-2023
16/07/2021 - Contract for Hay Cut 2021-2023
This decision is to award a contract to
deliver a conservation hay cut service on publicly accessible open
space for 2021-22 and 2022-23.
Bristol has a number of heritage green spaces where managing
grassland by annual conservation hay cutting has been continuous
for decades and likely longer. This has resulted in rich,
ecologically diverse habitats protected as Sites of Nature
Conservation Interest and Sites of Special Scientific
Interest.
The city also has a number of sites where annual conservation hay
cutting is a more recent management regime designed to create new,
ecologically diverse habitats over time. This is an important part
of the city managing its parks and green spaces for the benefit of
nature.
