'No Mow' grassy banks in Grey Lynn Park left to grow wild

From Afternoons, 1:30 pm on 12 November 2021

Walking through Grey Lynn park in Auckland you might spot a sign in amongst a patch of long, unkempt grass that says 'No Mow'

It was created by a group called The Wild Initiative and listed a bunch of benefits of letting the grass grow wild.

There was a name on the sign - Bruce - and a number listed too.

So we rang it. And the man on the sign, Bruce Sommerville, answered and agreed to join us on the show today to chat about it.
