Meadow Watch

We would really like to hear your observations on your local meadow, whether you own it, are responsible for its management, walk through it or can remember something about it from the past. We are particularly interested in current management information, for example when the hay was cut, when the site was grazed, whether it floods and if so, dates. We are also interested in your memories of a particular meadow and whether you have noticed any changes. All this information helps us to interpret data that we are collecting on some sites and gives us a better understanding of how meadows might be changing over time. Add information here.
