Management regime

This wildflower site is usually managed through one cut and collect a year between August and October. The cutting is done by the Gwaenysgor Conservation Group using the traditional method of scything. Cuttings are then collected By Flintshire County Council. 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.
