Matt Tomlinson of the Yare Valley Meadow Makers invites you to join the Meadow Makers work party on Marston Marsh to collect yellow rattle seed. This is becoming an annual event. The rattle seed will be used to promote wildflower growth on the Strawberry Field and UEA meadows.
Yellow rattle (Rhinanthus minor) is semi parasitic and feeds on the nutrients in the roots of adjacent grasses. In this way it suppresses the grass growth and creates more space for wildflowers to flourish.
There will be an evening session on Thursday 17th of July 7-9pm and an afternoon session on Saturday 26th of July 2-4pm.
All are welcome. Meet at MARSTON MARSH at ///found.maker.rocky (Marsh entrance near where the golf course crosses Marston Lane)
