Malvern Hills National Landscape
Down in Welland, we’ve grant aided a group of environmental volunteers to put in a fun, nature trail for children that includes these brass rubbing posts. Find out more about it at littlemalvernandwelland-pc.gov.uk/brass-rubbing-trail/

It’s so dry out there that lots of farmers have been making hay much earlier than normal. Before it’s all cut down our friends at Herefordshire Meadows have been out harvesting seed from meadows which are rich in wild flowers, such as here on the wonderfully diverse village green at Malvern Wells.
This precious seed will be stored until the autumn when it will be spread on areas of grass which are currently rather ‘boring’. This will boost the variety and abundance of flowers in the National Landscape in the future. As well as being great to look at those flowers will provide food and shelter for an array of insects which will help to pollinate many of our crops and feed lots of other wildlife, including summer migrants such as swifts and swallows. Then they will become winter food for our sheep and cattle.
It all starts with the plants!
