Our Roadside verges (PDF , 3MB) guide explains why roadside verges are important for wildlife and how they are managed across Westmorland and Furness.
It includes information on the role verges play in supporting biodiversity, connecting habitats and providing food and shelter for pollinators, birds and other wildlife. The guide also explains verge-cutting programmes, road safety considerations, and how councils, landowners, farmers and local communities can help protect and enhance these habitats.
This would be a useful resource for anyone interested in improving biodiversity and understanding how verge management supports nature recovery across the area.
