Phil Stirling Talk 6th Feb 2023 Recording 1920x1080

Phil talks about his experiences of bringing biodiversity to where we live and work. Phil was the principal ecological adviser at Dorset County Council for 25 years and gained lots of experience in creating species rich grassland and heathland habitats on worked out quarries, landfill sites and roads. He was on the project team that designed the wildflower banks on the A354 Weymouth Relief Road in Dorset in 2009. Every spring and summer they look stunning, support clouds of butterflies, and cost virtually nothing for the council to manage. For 4 years Phil looked after the whole of the council’s Countryside Service including the Country Parks, nature reserves and road verges. He and his team pioneered changes in the way the council’s amenity grasslands including road verges are managed, so that regularly mown parks and verges are becoming wildflower meadows, bringing wildlife into the places where people live and work. Phil has worked at BC for 5 years, sharing the good practice he established in Dorset with anyone and everyone in the UK who will listen!
