Hello - I am hoping someone here might know or seen some grounds maintenance specs. We are issuing new specs and I would like to check if there are more biodiversity friendly ones out there.
Hi Karen, we were asked this by Kent & Medway MHT recently and I pointed them to the guidance on the CIEEM website. Alternatively you may like the contract to be reviewed by an ecologist - let me know if I can help.
Essentially having less intensive grass mowing and hedgerow cutting regimes (such as rotational cutting of hedge faces) is becoming more important and limiting pesticide use and water application:
