A community wildflower/grassland area. Managed for the benefit of the local community and the wildlife of the Yare valley. Strawberry field has full public access.
A dry calcareous soil (pH8.5) on a steep valley slope.

We are a local community group, led by Matt Tomlinson. Started in the first lockdown, when seeing the potential in strawberry field as a future wildflower meadow the landowner was contacted and we now work together to fill this green space with nature. Creating these meadows however takes time (3-5 years).
We are supported and seek advice from two charities - PlantLife (of No Mow May fame) and the Norfolk wildlife trust.
