Long Grass Maintenance Areas
Our land management practices have changed in recent years in order to match our maintenace levels and available funds. We are now finding it necessary to include long grass areas in locations with higher visibility.
These long grass areas save money in staff time and equipment as well as fuel, fertilizer and chemical usage. In many areas, native plants will naturally replace existing grasses and selected areas will be re-seeded to establish native species, providing a natural habitat for wildlife.
It is important to us that the citizens of Lincoln have a quality experience in our parks. We strive to strike a balance between long grass areas and areas with more intensive management. Below are the park locations slated as long grass areas for the 2011 mowing season, as funded in the 2010-2011 budget. If you have concerns about an area, please call 402-441-7847.
