Habitat destruction?

Today an area alongside a drainage channel was cut whereas previously it had been left to grow as the grass over the path had been.  The reasoning behind this was that when player's use the path, they need to cross the drainage channel and the grass was obstructing the access. This is perfectly understandable however I believe it was unnecessary to cut the entire length. Perhaps it would have been better if only the grass at each bridge was cut.
As can be seen, we found a stag beetle in the area that was cut. Arguably this was home to this arthropod.
