Numerous plants and insects are found nowhere else and have declined dramatically fragile refuge populations threatened by habitat fragmentation are left isolated on well-managed nature reserves. This project will deliver the first pivotal part of this vision.Īcross the Cotswolds, 96% of species-rich grassland has been lost since the 1940’s. Our 10-year vision for the area is to create a nationally recognised, wildlife-rich landscape, resilient against future environmental and climate change, by targeting habitat improvements for insects. The Golden Valley is famous for species-rich grasslands and butterflies, within 4km of gently rolling banks in the heart of the Cotswolds from east of Stroud Town to Sapperton. ![]()
