Meadows, Seeds and Yellow Rattle

Back on land this month after two episodes on the water - this time we are exploring the wonderful world of meadows.

From Bath city centre, I walk up to meet with Anita Breeze and Chris Kinchin-Smith, two of the Directors of the Friends of Lyncombe Hill Fields where they show me their newly created meadows and the second UK site of a Tiny Forest!

I then walk over to Smallcombe Vale meeting Bathscape Manager, Dan Merrett on the way to find out from National Trust Assistant Ranger Issy Troth and George Cook, Avon WIldlife Trust, about seed collecting and the all important meadow plant Yellow Rattle.

In between, Team Leader of Bath Parks Project, Paul Pearce gives us his expert knowledge on meadow creation and the importance of increasing biodiversity in our landscape.
