Some open spaces in Clarence have reduced mowing schedules to help manage and protect the natural values of these areas.
By selectively leaving some areas unmown, native grasses such as kangaroo grass (Themeda triandra) and wallaby grass (Rytidosperma sp.) as well as native wildflowers and orchids, can finish flowering and seed.
This strategy ensures native grassland and native flower species can thrive.
It also helps compete against invasive and introduced weed species in our reserves and provides vital food sources for native fauna.
Track edges, entrance points and buffer areas will be mown to ensure community safety and signage will be displayed where mowing schedules are reduced to inform residents.
