Bradlaugh fields plant survey May June 2019

Here is the Dr Robin G Field 2019 Wildflower survey report which covers the  ‘dried up ponds’ near to the barn.

If anyone wants to be involved in any type of wildlife work at Bradlaugh – please complete the contact from on the website ‘Visit us Page.’

Please take a look at the 2019 report, and here is short summary of the key information.

• Another year of additional species identified.
• Greater numbers and density of plants now found. A good  example is the spread of cowslips which has more than doubled in the last two years.
• There has been no planting carried out in these areas,  just simple management of cut and remove in the autumn, allowing nature to do the rest.
• There is now evidence of greater diversity and populations of butterflies,  and moths in the area.
