Marden Meadows
Nestled between Marden and Staplehurst, this idyllic reserve boasts one of the best remaining examples of unimproved hay meadows in Kent. Several ponds and fields are bordered by mature hedgerows, providing the perfect habitat for yellow hammers, swallows, reed warblers and skylarks. A complex diversity of plants can be found at Marden Meadows, including orchids, daisies, vetches and wild grasses. This rich natural heritage enables the reserve to act as a key donor meadow site for the Coronation Meadows Project, providing invaluable meadow seed to local restoration projects.
97% of British meadows have been lost in the last 75 years. Your support will help us to protect this precious, rare habitat, securing a safe space for wildflowers to bloom for years to come.
