Uppark House July 2021
Uppark House is a National Trust property near South Harting West Sussex. These two contrasting views, one taken in early June 2015 and the second in July 2021 show a policy to help promote biodiversity by reducing the frequency of grass cutting. The rich meadow grass provides a source of nourishment for billions of insects and invertebrates which in turn sustain a wealth of wildlife. Neatly mown lawns are great look neat and tidy but are effectively sterile. As summer draws to a close the grasses are cut but a new generation of animals are given aa helping hand and the meadows become colourful with myriads of butterflies, moths, crickets, beetles, bees and other pollinating insects.
