CUTACRE MEADOWS, A WILDLIFE REVIVAL

THROUGH TARGETED FENCING, THE PROJECT WILL ENABLE MORE EFFECTIVE CONSERVATION GRAZING, PROVIDING A MORE VARIED STRUCTURE TO THE GRASSLANDS AND PROMOTING SPECIES DIVERSITY. TARGETED SOWING OF WILDFLOWER SEEDS AND PLUG PLANTING WILL ALSO INCREASE THE SPECIES DIVERSITY OF THE GRASSLANDS. THE INSTALLATION OF A CATTLE BRIDGE WILL ENABLE A FIELD WHICH IS CURRENTLY DIFFICULT TO ACCESS TO BE BROUGHT INTO BETTER MANAGEMENT. INSTALLING MORE SLUICES WITHIN THE FIELD DITCHES WILL ENABLE GREATER RETENSION OF WATER WITHIN THE WET PASTURE FIELDS, PROVIDING BETTER QUALITY HABITAT FOR WADING BIRDS.

THE INSTALLATION OF DRAINAGE PIPES WITHIN FLOODED AREAS OF THE FOOTPATH NETWORK WILL PROVIDE A BETTER VISITOR EXPERIENCE. As WILL THE PROVISION OF WAYMARKERS.
