April to SeptemberAbout the reserve
The meadows comprise a wide area of species-rich grassland bordering the shallow Yeading Brook. The reserve is south of Ten Acre Wood, another London Wildlife Trust reserve, and comprises a key element of an enjoyable day out exploring this peaceful river. Significant habitat restoration has been undertaken on this stretch of the Yeading Brook, enabling wildlife to flourish.
History of Yeading Brook Meadows
A dedicated volunteer group have worked tirelessly to conserve this area for 30 years and have helped it win designation as a Local Nature Reserve. The site has been managed by the Trust since 1987, in an agreement with Hillingdon Council.
Management of Yeading Brook Meadows
The Yeading Brook is being restored for wildlife as part of the long-running Crane Valley Project, which is creating river meanders, backwaters, clearing scrub and investigating barriers to fish migration. Grassland habitats are managed by the control of unwanted plants, targeted meadow cutting and scrub clearance.
