In Kyiv, in the Poznyaki microdistrict, they mowed an area of ​​natural growth of various grasses, which the communal workers were not going to mow.

A sign has been installed near the site with the explanation that the natural growth of various herbs is preserved in this area, in order to preserve and improve biodiversity, activist Dmytro Lykhoviy wrote on Facebook.

He explained that people did not throw garbage on the site and did not walk dogs on it.

In the discussion of the post, netizens assumed that the plants on the site were mowed, because they had dried up. One of the users emphasized that it was worth planting other plants, including poppies, cornflowers, yarrow, etc. The plants on the site were called last year's weeds.

Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that utility workers in Kyiv planted 25 decorative bows with minimal mowing instead of traditional lawns. This will save resources and create ideal conditions for the development and protection of biodiversity.

As EcoPolitic previously reported, utility workers planted seeds in Vinnytsia the first decorative bow instead of the traditional lawn on the main avenue of Vyshensky Park. A mix of annual and perennial flowers that can withstand drought was planted on the site.
