The Marches Meadow Group (MMG) was established in 2015 to promote the conservation, protection and enhancement of species-rich hay meadows, grasslands and unimproved pastures. Since its formation MMG has expanded from the area between Shrewsbury and Bishop’s Castle to cover all of Shropshire and neighbouring areas of Powys.
 

We have over 150 members, some of whom own meadows ranging from small lawns to large fields. Some members do not have their own meadows but wish to support MMG’s work.

Management for hay promotes greater diversity of plants and associated insects; diversity of currently species-poor grasslands can be enhanced by green hay and seed collection and sowing. MMG has produced a leaflet on creating a meadow which can be downloaded here.
