The new meadows occupy a key bridging position in the local mosaic of reserves, providing the missing link between our reserves and those of our neighbours.
Our two new meadows will require some additional planting around their boundaries as well as careful management to encourage appropriate tree and shrub species to reestablish themselves naturally.
Several things combine to makes our two new meadows quite exceptional in our area.
Colin Peacock explains why meadows are like loaves, how ‘improvement’ has two very different meanings, and how value and beauty go hand-in-hand.
Read about how we’re going to make the AONB safer for horse riders (as well as walkers and even motorists!)
Just like us, wildlife needs safe spaces in which to grow and flourish as well as pathways to connect their communities.
