Our additional Barnsley Nats field visit this Saturday morning [28 June] is to Spring Meadows, Alderman’s Head and Cox Croft Meadows, to the south of Penistone.
These are traditionally managed hay meadows designated as a site of special scientific interest (SSSI). They are adjacent to the ancient woodlands of Hollin Wood and Spring Wood. The visit has been arranged by Mitch Greenhalgh and is by courtesy of the farm owner.

Wildflower meadows – Chris Tomson : March 20th 2024

Our next indoor meeting is on Wednesday 20 March: Chris Tomson is giving a talk on Wildflower Meadows.
There are fewer traditional meadows today, affecting the numbers and diversity of insects and other wildlife. Chris has worked for many years with farmers on nature-friendly farming and we are looking forward to an informative and interesting presentation.
Wednesday 20 March, 7pm, at Worsbrough Common Community Centre, Warren Quarry Lane, Barnsley S70 4ND. Everyone welcome.
This will be our last indoor meeting until the Autumn; we look forward to seeing you there. During the summer we have our regular programme of field visits.
