Enhancing biodiversity in cities is critical to future-proofing green spaces but how many city-dwellers actually take notice of the variety of species around them? Not many according to recent research.
With our partner Green Estate, we will work with Sheffield communities to co-design green spaces with meadow turfs. Together, we aim to measure the effectiveness of the turfs in supporting pollinators, comparing a mix of UK native plants with a mix of native and non-native species. Through art activities and citizen science, we also aim to increase the engagement of the communities with biodiversity, developing a sense of care for urban nature.
