Sherborne Terraces SNCI

Yellow Rattle

The Terrace Meadow is a fascinating patch of limestone grassland adjacent to Sherborne’s Terrace Playing Fields sports facilities. It is of particular interest as the soil is unusual for the area, and supports flowers (including orchids), butterflies and other species not generally seen in the locality. It is managed by Sherborne Town Council and EuCAN CIC.

We cut the rank grass a week ago. As it is not suitable as hay for livestock, we are going to rake it up and take it over to the dump pile in the corner of the site.

We are hoping that we will get cooler temperatures than in the previous week!

We shall be meeting in the Terraces carpark at 9am but walk to find us if you arrive later. It would help if you could let me know if you are planning to join us.
