The Ashford Meadows Project will enhance and restore flower-rich grasslands such as meadows, pastures, and woodland rides and glades in Ashford and the surrounding area.
The project will also enhance other important habitats such as hedgerows, ponds and the Trust’s network of Roadside Nature Reserves, all of which provide important ‘stepping stones’ in the local landscape, especially within more urban areas.
