Upper Park Meadow Area
Description
The narrow, western section of Lowndes Park is defined as a Locally Important Landscape Area in the Chiltern District Local Plan and the area is managed to encourage wild flora and fauna. The areas of meadow grass are also visually in character with the adjoining countryside, which is part of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Current condition
The area is a left as a large meadow area bisected by a straight two metre wide path. The meadow area features many oak whips.
Future Plans
This area lacks a coherent management plan. A large number of oak whips are present and will develop into woodland in the absence of intervention. A decision will be taken on the management of this area, i.e. whether the objective is to develop an oak woodland, a series of copses comprised of oak, or the occasional oak tree growing in the meadow area.
News & Events
On February the 28th the Friends submitted their biggest funding application yet...
Hardly news, but we ended 2008 on a disappointing note. The Town Council was unsuccessful in its bid for heritage lottery funding under the Parks for People scheme.
