Management of Wildflower-rich Grassland habitats for pollinators and other insects

This four page fact sheet shows how flower-rich grasslands can be managed to support insects. Grassland management guidance often focuses mainly on plants; this guidance is important in also considering how it affects invertebrates. It emphasises the need for structural diversity, with a range of different grassland types as well as trees and scrub, and leaving some taller uncut grass as refuges for overwintering insects.
