Footpath through the wildflowers and grass - July
1999 |
This picture shows the top of the avenue by the river Thame,
known as “the slips”. Dogs keep to the footpaths too – until they
see a squirrel! |
| After the July hay cut, cattle graze the meadow to improve
the quality of the grassland. In 1999, the numbers increased by two. |

Hay bales 24 August 1998 |
The hay is cut and turned in mid July, after the wildflowers
have seeded. Volunteers have virtually eradicated the ragwort and kept the
thistles under control. |
