The council adapted it's policy on grass cutting to boost biodiversity, and the scheme has now been recognised by COSLA.
Changing how grass is cut across the district to make it more wildlife-friendly has earned Falkirk Council a nomination for a local government 'Oscar'.
The scheme was initially criticised as some residents were concerned it made it more difficult to pick up after dogs while others were worried about ticks in the long grass. "It's really nice to get that recognition for a project that took a lot of effort and a lot of teamwork but we felt was so worthwhile and delivered really positive results.
"It's early days but the sites we've been working on will be a key part of those networks," said Anna.
