In the last sixty years England has lost most of its species-rich semi-natural grassland. Increasing the numbers and species of native wild flowers in semi-improved grassland (ie grassland that has undergone some agricultural improvement) can go some way to restoring this valuable habitat. This note gives advice on how yellow rattle Rhinanthus minor can help other wild flower species establish in semi-improved grasslands, particularly in grasslands being managed under Environmental Stewardship. Other notes on enhancing and recreating semi-natural grasslands are available and details can be seen below.
