How can people help
The distribution of round-leaved fluellen has been reduced by the impact of herbicides. The Wildlife Trusts work with farmers across the UK to help reduce the impact of modern farming methods on wildlife and native arable plants. By joining your local Wildlife Trust you'll help them to continue this work.
