Edgeley Wildlife & Nature Reserve Today

What grassland can offer:

Grasslands are areas dominated by grass cover, but they can also contain lots of other plants. Grasslands cover large areas of the UK, but most are highly modified by land management and agricultural 'improvement'. Semi-natural grasslands are very scarce, and some wooded areas contain important pockets of semi-natural grasslands within glades, rides, wood-meadows and clearings.

Mini-Meadow (an aim of EWRG)

Rich grasslands can have as many as 30 species of wildflower within a quarter of a square metre. Wild flowers, such as orchid, cowslip and red clover blanket may be seen in unimproved grassland in the spring and summer.
