Optimow 2024

With your help, we are looking for a way to make a difference and help save important flower visiting insects!

​

Optimow IS BACK!! We are building on last years results to understand more about helping pollinators through lawn management.

​

Our gardens citizen science project is working with members of the public to work out if there's a best way to mow lawns to benefit pollinating insects! Volunteers will be assigned a mowing regime and be counting the flower-visiting insects within your garden.

Each individual in the project will be contributing to real-world scientific research that will help our understanding of insects in your garden and help save these insects.
