## Summary

A wildflower meadow project at Fairstead Recreation Ground in King’s Lynn has moved forward, with council staff and volunteers planting hundreds of native wildflower plugs. The Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk says the work aims to improve biodiversity and create habitat for local wildlife.

The planting follows the introduction of green hay earlier this year and is among the council’s first practical habitat restoration projects. Once established, the meadow is expected to offer food, shelter and breeding opportunities for wildlife; the council will monitor its progress and use lessons from the site to guide possible projects elsewhere in the borough.
