Tullyard ASSI

The two fields at Tullyard are managed as hay meadows. They contain a range of species typical of dry grasslands that have been managed at low intensity.

The grasses crested dog's-tail, sweet vernal-grass, common bent, red fescue and Yorkshire-fog are common throughout.
Herbs such as meadow vetchling, common knapweed, yellow-rattle, greater bird's-foot trefoil and meadow buttercup are widespread and in places abundant.

Other typical meadow species occurring less frequently include bird's-foot trefoil, oxeye daisy and tufted vetch.

The orchids common spotted and greater butterfly are occasional in the meadows.
