A free training event in Meadow Management led by experts from Herefordshire Meadows, and kindly funded by Rewilding Britain.

Join us at Lower Bridge Meadow in Much Marcle to learn more about the practicalities of meadow management by expert Rory Johnson, Driector and Meadows Advisor at Herefordshire Meadows.

Lower Bridge Meadow is a particulary special meadow, the last traditional hay meadow in Much Marcle, and has two grassland communities present, M27 and nationally rare MG5 grassland.

Surveys have recorded more than 80 different species in Lower Bridge Meadow’s 2.4 acres!

M27 grassland is a wet fen mire, dominated by Meadowsweet Filipendula ulmaria and Angelia Angelica sylvestris, adjacent to a stream onsite. MG5 grassland is a internationally rare priority habitat, with less than 6,000ha remaining in England. Species such as Common Bird’s-foot-trefoil Lotus corniculatus, Common Knapweed Centaurea nigra, Cowslip Primula veris and Lady’s Bedstraw Galium verum, Common Spotted-orchid Dactylorhiza fuchsii and an exciting rare plant Adder’s-tongue Fern Ophioglossum vulgatum.
