Paramount Grassland: Flower power by the Ring Road

Paramount Grassland is an interesting urban patch of ancient remnant. Council only acquired it ten years ago. Before that it was just a forgotten bit of wasteland, until someone noticed the amazing, endangered plants... Since then Council have been working hard to restore it to what must have been its former glory.

We will have family-friendly activities to do as we walk and talk our way around the grassland, so bring the kids! We'll be joined by one of the Council's knowledgable Biodiversity Officers, so there will be lots to learn. Field guides provided.
