Middle Street Meadow - Salisbury environmental project

The Middle Street Meadow conservation group was set up to enable the local community to take an active part in the use and future of Middle Street Meadow and through improved management, to increase the wildflowers, butterflies and bird life of the site. Sadly there is no formal conservation group active at this time.

Middle Street Meadow is an area of old water meadow, with public access. The meadow is situated in West Harnham in the City of Salisbury. GR. 132294. It is part of a green corridor along the river Nadder which extends into the heart of the city and includes the adjacent Harnham Water Meadows Reserve and Nadder Island, a Wiltshire Wildlife Trust Reserve.

Middle Street Meadow has a central playing field area of level ground which is regularly mown and is used for football through the winter months and more latterly for cricket in the summer. Around this field area there are well maintained grass pathways popular with local residents and dog walkers. There are other areas of grass which are less frequently mown which are left for the benefit of wildlife. As of 2008 the Environment Agency have created a flood bank and a pond to filter the run-off from Churchfields industrial estate. The meadow is bordered on its northern side by the river Nadder.
