Rawcliffe Ings restoration

Since the beginning, FoRM have had their eye on the section of Rawcliffe Ings that ran from the top of the meadows to the copse along the eastern of the cycle track (other side from the cornfield buffer hedge).

Watching it deteriorate over the years has been upsetting but in March 2008 the Environment Agency commenced work towards restoring the quality. In May 2008 they began stripping 20cm of the turf. Once prepared the ground will be sown with a mixture of local woldflower seed and local hay to help flowers regenerate. Along with weed control, the area will be monitored for any additional management to improve the biodiversity.
