Description
This unit gives learners the opportunity to read and discuss the issue of biodiversity and our approach to encouraging this. It uses the case study of a small town in the UK where the local government failed to cut the grass next to the road and in doing so created new areas of biodiversity, allowing wild flowers to grow.
