As part of our Nature Positive University commitments, we are pleased to share that the first stage of the creation of new wildflower meadows outside the Joseph Banks Laboratories will begin tomorrow, Friday 13 September, in partnership with the Lincoln Science and Innovation Park.
Mark Schofield, from the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, will be onsite this weekend to scarify the lawn area directly in front of the building. Seeding the meadow will take place at a later date and will include harvested seeds where possible from site.
We will invite staff, students and members of the public to a future planting event early next year. The creation of these meadows will provide important connectivity between green spaces on the Brayford Campus for pollinators.
