Herefordshire Council are working with Balfour Beatty Living Places, the Wye and Usk Foundation and Severn Rivers Trust, to deliver the Herefordshire Natural Flood Management (NFM) Project.

We are very excited that species rich grassland creation has been included as one of the fundable NFM options in recognition of the positive impact deep-rooted broad-leaved herbs have on improving infiltration rates and the soil’s water holding capacity.

If you are in one of the seven priority sub-catchments and have an area of grassland of at least 1ha you would like to enhance get in touch info@herefordshiremeadows.org.uk.

More info about the project and a list of catchments involved can be found here.
