This event was held on Saturday 11th July 2009 and organised in conjunction with Blaenau-Gwent County Borough Council.
Ebbw Vale Cemetery (SO161105) is approximately 3.8ha and has been managed as a wildflower meadow since 2007. This change in management has resulted in an increase in species diversity and part of the site is now a wildflower conservation area. The site supports a mixture of semi-improved neutral and marshy grassland, with damper areas towards the east. Further grassland is situated to the south, sheltered by dense trees and a variety of herbs, with a stream running through this part of the site.
Thanks to all who joined our efforts to add value to this under-recorded site by coming along on the day and helping to identify the range of species which utilise it. Further information on the species recorded during this event will be available shortly.
