About the event

Discover the Marshwood Vale and its ancient lowland meadows with the Countryside Restoration Trust at Babers Farm near Charmouth. Meadows expert Nick Gray (Dorset Wildlife Trust) will lead a walk to identify the plants and wildlife of these special meadows. You will also get an insight into the pressures that modern farmers and land managers face and consider the future challenges to meadows like these in the face of our changing climate.

This event is part of our Landscape for Life Festival, celebrating 60 years of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

We’ve asked some very special people who live and work in this rich and vibrant landscape to share the places they love with you. Join artists, story-tellers, wildlife experts, geologists, farmers, archaeologists to uncover what makes the landscape so outstanding… and find your own place to love along the way. See the full programme of events.
