Mowed dam in the Siegauen

Mowed dam in the Siegauen

Because the Siegdam has been mowed, the embankment is completely free of flowers in the middle of summer. As a result, there are no longer any flower-visiting insects here or along the rest of the embankment. The mowing will also have had an impact on insects in earlier stages of development.
