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 8 June 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.
