The North Pennines AONB contains almost half of the remaining species-rich upland hay meadows in the UK. As well as being a rare and important habitat for wildflowers\, upland hay meadows also support a whole range of invertebrates and birds. \nHigh Nature Value farming practices in the uplands mean that many of these meadows are being managed in much the same way that they have been for generations. These farming practices protect the unique habitats of the North Pennines whilst also producing high quality food. Whilst the management regime of meadows is similar now to 200 years ago\, the machinery available to farmers has changed beyond all recognition from scythes to large tractors and mowers\, and from handmade pikes of hay to modern balers. \nWe want to celebrate this important habitat and its cultural history with a variety of fun activities suitable for all ages. There is no need to book\, come along and take part in activities: \n\ndisplay of farming machinery old and new\ndisplay of machinery used for meadow restoration\nbotany walk around the meadows\nart and craft activities\na closer look at the special species of plants through a microscope\ndisplay of typical upland hay meadow species grown from hand-collected local seed\nmeadow restoration talk\ndisplay of historic hay-time photographs\n\nDelicious tea and scones will be on sale made by the Farmhouse Kitchen. \nLocation : Low Way Farm\, Holwick.\nCar parking available\, access from road the towards Holwick (follow signs for The Farmhouse Kitchen) ///addicted.proven.encloses \nOr \nAccess on foot from Middleton or Bowlees via Pennine way: ///dark.releasing.going \n  \n  URL:https://northpennines.org.uk/event/national-meadows-day-low-way-farm-family-event/ LOCATION:Low Way Farm\, Holwick\, DL12 0NJ CATEGORIES:Family-friendly ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northpennines.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Park-End-meadow-.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="North Pennines National Landscape":MAILTO:communications@northpennines.org.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230624T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230624T110000 DTSTAMP:20260429T165757 CREATED:20230529T170934Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230601T134036Z UID:10000431-1687599000-1687604400@northpennines.org.uk SUMMARY:Fellfoot Forward wildlife walk DESCRIPTION:Join local natural historian and volunteer\, Guy Broome\, for a guided walk around Croglin looking mainly\, but not exclusively\, at insects\, birds\, and plants.
