SB,
What is Culm grassland?
Culm grassland is best described as ‘wet, often heathy grazing pasture’ (Devon
County Council 2000) and is a mosaic of different habitats including wet heath, rush
pasture, fen meadow, mire and scrub. These wet pastures are located on the Culm
Measures, an area of poorly drained, wet, acid soils situated in north-west Devon and
north-east Cornwall . The landscape of the Culm Measures is one of hills
and valleys shaped by the three main rivers which cut through the region: the Taw,
Torridge and Tamar.
And as such areas are worthy of preservation check with a local botanist you may be able to fence off the area concerned from the C&C Club making it acceptable.
