The Meadow Makers' Network Forum

Hi all

Available to listen now - a fascinating interview with George Peterken discussing wood meadows on the Unfamiliar Wildflowers Podcast.

George is one of the most respected woodland ecologists in the UK and a meadows expert. Find out why George thinks meadows are the optimistic habitat. And why he thinks neolithic farmers fed tree branches as ‘hay’ to their livestock.

You can also watch the talk he gave for Moor Meadows earlier this spring, A Celebration of Wildflower Meadows, on the Moor Meadows youtube channel:

Excellent talk, thanks for sharing. George is such an interesting speaker. He has inspired me to transform my whole farm into wood meadow!

That's great to hear, George has inspired me to create more wood meadows too. The website of the Wood Meadows Trust, where George is a Trustee, is worth a look:https://www.woodmeadowtrust.org.uk/
They are holding a conference on wood meadows this September in York, open to all.
