Letter: Please don't mow roadside grasses

Posted by Fred Steiner on July 6, 2010 - 4:21pm

Dear Richland Township,

Do you realize that our roadsides and hedgerows of the past allowed for abundant migration for birds and butterflies?

These small creatures cannot get far without native grasses and foods such as berries, cattails, wildflowers and grasses that once grew along roadsides. Agribusiness chemical farming techniques have eliminated our traditional hedge rows to make large fields more appropriate for their huge machines to harvest and plow monocrops. And we mow our country roadsides.
