About the event

Badgeworth is an area of grassland with a pond and supports one of just two UK populations of the rare adder’s-tongue spearwort Ranunculus ophioglossifolius, known locally as the ‘Badgeworth buttercup’. The other population can be found intermittently on Inglestone Common in south Gloucestershire, (though this population hasn't been spotted in a few years.) Other plants at Badgeworth include lesser spearwort, common water-crowfoot, narrow-leaved water-plantain, marsh speedwell, pink water speedwell, fen bedstraw and marsh foxtail.

 The reserve is usually closed to the public but this year will be open  on June the 9th from 2pm to 5pm.  Members of staff and volunteers will be onsite to provide information about the site, the Badgeworth Buttercup and the work of Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust.
