How many plants can you see

you can't simply walk onto someones land and start cutting back unless you have permission to do so. Some times its not an issue but other times the land owner might take offence.
We have the complete opposite here where the local fields were purchased by a charity and a village green status added however they have altered the land layout, put paths across the fields and increase traffic has driven wildlife away.No more nesting birds in the grass and they keep cutting back the brambles and clearing areas taking away shelters. They have planted hundreds of daffs and now with a new mower they will keep cutting the grass making it more into play fields.
The idea was to keep the land safe from building and to attract wildlife but sadly they can't stop themselves and just keep hacking away removing the habitat that insects to mammals prefer. A classic case of not knowing what they are doing and not gaining advice. Such a shame.

 

I agree with much that has already been said and support the wildlife aspects of this area. But wildlife areas need management and a management plan. I would ask the company what the management plan is and what species they hope to attract and how it is to be implemented. If it’s a designated flood area it has the potential to be good for wildlife. It might be worth contacting the local wildlife trust and getting their opinion. There may a local countryside ranger or warden who could also help. This could be a win win situation for everyone.....just keep the dogs out.

 

I'd be inclined to casually fling some native wild flower seeds over the fence.
