Description
Flora - the Field Guide by Sally Featherstone is a comprehensive guide to identifying wildflower species found in upland hay meadows of northern England. Over 90% of these unique ecosystems have been lost since the 1930s, due to intensive farming practices such as fertiliser use and herbicide application. This book provides a detailed introduction to the plants that still thrive in these conditions, including those found in traditional West Yorkshire pennine meadows. The author's companion work, 'Flora - ten years among the flowers of an endangered landscape', offers a deeper exploration of this subject. By focusing on the unique characteristics of upland hay meadows, Flora - the Field Guide facilitates easy recognition of wildflower species in these environments. With its focus on natural haymaking and the seasonal rhythms that govern these ecosystems, this guide is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding and appreciating the beauty and diversity of northern England's wildflowers.
