SUMMARY:Meadows day at Low Way Farm
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free family event on Saturday 13 July\, 10.30am to 3.30pm\, at Low Way Farm\, Holwick\, to celebrate the magnificent meadows and farming history of Teesdale. \nThe North Pennines National Landscape 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. \nWe want to celebrate this important habitat and its cultural history with a variety of fun activities suitable for all ages. Come along and enjoy: \nA display of farming machinery old and new\nA display of machinery used for meadow restoration\nScything demonstrations\nThe Durham Wildlife Trust stand\nA display of historic meadow photos from The Fitzhugh Library\nThe Teesdale Special Flora Trust stand\nA botany walk around the meadows\nMeadow-themed activities for children \nHigh Nature Value farming practices in the uplands mean that many of these meadows are 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. \nNo need to book\, all children must be supervised by an adult. The event is not suitable for dogs. \nLow Way Farm\, Holwick\,  Middleton-in-Teesdale\, DL12 0NJ.\nWhat 3 Words: access for cars ///addicted.proven.encloses\, access on foot from Middleton or Bowlees via Pennine way ///dark.releasing.going \n \n
