Total species seen at this site:
The Munday’s Close wildlife area is the western rectangle of the Langham Parish Council land for recreation, the other areas of the site being using for sport, graveyard and allotments. It was converted from allotments in 1999 and is laid out as woodland, meadow and a grassed area with benches. The layout of the planting was designed by Tim Appleton MBE.
There are a good range of native trees, shrubs and wildflowers including spindle, oak, hazel, dogwood, nettle-leaved bellflower, hairy st John wort and honeysuckle.
The annual cut of the wildlife meadow is done in early September. There is a volunteer working party monthly during the winter.
