 Condition assessment comment

 Reason for adverse condition
East Of England  Hertfordshire  East Hertfordshire  Acid grassland - lowland  Charlie Williams  1  1004878  8.47  01 Jul 2008  Unfavourable recovering  The site is certainly recovering, as a result of ongoing tree and scrub clearance and sheep-grazing by HMWT. However some favourable condition targets related to the quality and, in particular, the extent of the acid grassland habitat have not yet been met. Both tree and scrub clearance and sheep-grazing need to be continued and extended across more of the site to achieve favourable condition.
