Harpenden Green Space Haycut

Harpenden Town Council (HTC) has approximately 28 hectares of meadow and grassland that require an annual hay cut and collect. This is separate to the many hectares of normal amenity grass that must be maintained throughout the year. HTC sites provide vital access for local people in Harpenden to engage with nature and safely enjoy the green spaces. Each Summer, three of these sites undergo cut and collect grassland management in specific areas. This is to ensure that the meadows stay in good condition and that floristic diversity is promoted annually. We are seeking tenders to complete the scheduled cut and collect set out below, in the summer of each year, for the next three years, 2024 to 2026, to a high standard, with specific attention to ensuring health and safety compliance in public spaces.
