As another harvesting season draws to a close, and summer comes to a rainy end, our Glorious Cotswold Grasslands team have been out and about through the hotter months working hard to harvest wildflower seed across all their donor sites for the programme.
And the results are in… this summer, the GCG team and their volunteers harvested a staggering 2.5 tonnes of wildflower seed, by hand, across multiple sites in the Cotswolds.
Now it’s been sorted and dried (also by hand), the seed will soon be sown across recipient sites to continue the GCG team’s work to create or restore wildflower-rich limestone grassland across the Cotswolds. Currently, the team is out preparing the ground for sowing. You can keep up with their progress by following along on social media.
