Management regime

This wildflower site is usually managed through one cut and collect a year between August and October. It is essential that cuttings are collected and removed. This reduces fertility and subsequently; the ‘vigour’ of the grasses year on year, which favours the continued establishment of perennial flowering species.

Date last surveyed

Notes: Continue existing management. Site to have an additional cut in early spring to reduce the ‘vigour’ of the grasses.
