Halifax Scientific Society walk, Wednesday 6th July: Hay Meadow Restoration
A walk and visit to the National Trust Hay Meadows
Please meet at the National Trust Clough Foot Car Park,
Widdop Road. There is a charge for non-National Trust members.
We will be walking for about 20 minutes along the road to the
National Trust hay meadows where we will meet Drew Marsh, National Trust Ranger
who will explain the methods used by the National Trust and the RSPB for
restoring the hay meadows. We will then have
the opportunity to walk through the meadows to try and ID plant species.
Afterwards, you can spend more time in Hardcastle Crags or alternatively,
folk can return by the same path we took at the beginning.

Please note:
The walk will be approximately a couple of hours, but longer
if you wish to stay in the Hardcastle Crags area.

Charlotte managed to attract 18 people on this walk, and it was a great success. A new plant for Calderdale was found on the grass verge on Widdop Road - Marsh Cinqefoil - which we have only seen in one other place locally - at Walsden, where it is just outside the Calderdale recording area.
