Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

The NRF has been set up to run a long term field trial to investigate which meadow management techniques best favour the establishment of species that previous work has shown to be difficult. Species to be included in our trial will be selected from the Group 3 list in Natural England's TIN 050. Our results will benefit any organisation looking to establish, or improve, species rich grassland.
