About the event

We are blessed with several National Nature Reserves in the vicinity and Upwood Meadows is perhaps the least known. Designated an NNR for its wildflower diversity, it is also a Coronation meadow from which seeds are taken to help reverse the loss of this low-lying grassland habitat. In July, the interesting plants we hope to see include Sulphur Clover, Saw-wort, Betony and Pepper Saxifrage as well as the insects they attract and dragonflies around the necklace of dewponds.  Nationally renowned botanist Sarah Lambert will guide us around this gem of a site.
