Site description

This predominately grassland area is managed through a mixture of hay cutting and grazing. The pastures are managed on agreed cutting regimes, and in the areas grazed by cattle a hay crop is removed every year. In the section to the west of Olivers Lane approximately 50% of the grassland is cut each year, this is done in late summer to allow the flowers to seed with all the arisings removed from site.
