Norfolk Wildlife Trust is leading a free meadow tour of Wood Green Common on Sunday as part of The Wildlife Trusts’ national
Our Meadow Wildlife Weekend.
Join Helen Baczkowska, Norfolk Wildlife Trust Conservation Officer, on a tour of Wood Green Common, 4-6pm on Sunday 19 June. The walk is free and Helen will show some of the typical Norfolk meadow plants that make this beautiful common so special, what makes a meadow a meadow, why they are so important and how they are managed.
Lowland meadows are one of the most threatened habitats in Britain, with more than 95% lost between 1945 and 1984. Many of those that remain are vulnerable to changes in management, but are also one of the most diverse habitats, teeming with life from tiny insects to reptiles and hunting birds of prey.
The Wildlife Trusts are passionate about restoring wildflower-rich meadows and run the annual Our Meadow Wildlife Weekend which sees Trusts all over the UK celebrating and exploring meadows. This year it runs 18-19 June 2016. For full details visit
