We look after Cotswold Commons and Beechwoods National Nature Reserve, including Rudge Hill, Sheepscombe & Cranham Commons and Buckholt & Rough Park Woods
As a lamas meadow North Meadow has these stones which mark out the hay lots. We still use them. Each is a scheduled ancient monument so our mate Phil marks them with a flag so we don't hit them with the mower...... @NESouthWest @NECotswolds

Comparison between the standing hay and an area which has been mown by @andyrumming sad to see the colour go but it's all an important part of the management cycle.

North Meadow update: The fritillary boom has now past and there are lots of seed pods out there. Great year for them! Hopefully we'll see even more next year!
