Our volunteers were out today spreading Yellow Rattle seed in the meadow cuts. Yellow Rattle (Rhinanthus minor) is hemiparatistic on grass species, reducing their vigour, allowing other wildflower species room to grow.

Thank you to all the lovely families who joined us at Ashway Gap last week to learn about pollinators and how our food supply relies on those fuzzy bees, colourful butterflies and even those much feared wasps!

This is part of a partnership project with Ella's Kitchen the organic baby and toddler food brand, whose Big Pledge to Little People includes restoring 30 million square feet of wildflower meadow across the UK to help support life for generations to come.

At Dove Stone we aim to restore 5 million square feet (about 65 football pitches) of grassland to wildflower and species rich habitat that will support a wide variety of pollinators and other wildlife for future generations to enjoy.

We are mainly delivering this with the help of children and families so if you know of a school, uniform group, parent & toddlers’ group or similar who might like to get involved please get in touch [email protected]

There were so many lovely photos we may have to do more than one post! 🐝🦋🐞🌼💚
