CMA Events & Training

This Study Day based around the Cricklade area in Wiltshire will look into the methodology and practical application of restoring neutral grassland hay meadows. Currently in it’s final year of a five year project, Rebuilding Biodiversity North Wiltshire, The Wiltshire Wildlife Trust has been working to improve neutral grassland sites both on their reserves and with private landowners.

The morning session will include an overview of the project, an introduction to grassland restoration, livestock considerations and the machinery required for a successful project.

Site visits in the afternoon will comprise a farm that has been re-seeded under the scheme, and a visit to Clattinger Farm, a Wiltshire Wildlife Trust reserve. Clattinger Farm is considered to be one of the best neutral hay meadow sites in the country and should be exhibiting a spectacular show of wildflowers at the time of the study day.
