Saffron Green Meadows or Saffron Green Pasture is an area of public open space and farmland north of Arkley in Hertsmere, Hertfordshire, England. It is owned and managed by Hertfordshire County Council, and is part of the Watling Chase Community Forest and the London Green Belt. In the late 1990s, the area was identified as suitable for environmental management as it had been untenanted for several years, and as rough grazing pasture it was a rich and scarce ecological habitat which also had recreational potential. An archeological survey identified a pre-Roman landscape pattern, possibly dating back to the Bronze Age. In 2002-03 4.5 hectares was planted as woodland, and a tenant was found to manage the land for grazing. The 42 hectare site had previously had no public access, but an area of 5.5 hectares is now public open space, with a bridle way which connects with Arkley Lane, a Local Nature Reserve in Barnet. There is also public access from Galley Lane.〔(Hertfordshire County Council, Saffron Green meadows and wood )〕 A wide variety of wild species have been found on the site,〔(National Biodersity Network, Saffron Green Pasture )〕 and it is one of the largest wildlife sites in Hertsmere.〔(Hertsmere Borough Council, Biodiversity, Trees and Landscape )〕 Mimmshall Brook, a tributary of the River Colne, skirts the site, and the Saffron Green radio masts of 95.8 Capital FM radio station are close by. ==Gallery== File:SAFFRON GREEN MEADOWS.JPG|Noticeboard FILE:SAFFRON GREEN MASTS.JPG|Meadows with radio masts in the distance FILE:SAFFRON GREEN PATH.JPG|Path in Saffron Green Meadows FILE:SAFFRON GREEN MIMMSHALL BROOK.JPG|Mimmshall Brook 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saffron Green Meadows」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
