Abstract/Summary:
The reversion of arable land to permanent grassland is a major work area funded through Environmental Stewardship. There are a number of reasons why arable land is reverted to grassland. This note focuses on the creation of species-rich grassland, that is, grassland comprising species characteristic of semi-natural grassland communities, in particular wild flowers. Other notes provide guidance on establishing a species-rich sown sward and the early management of a species-rich sward.
