Keep off the grass: One man's mission to save our meadowland and its wildlife
So you thought looking after your lawn was hard work? Spare a thought for Jon Valters, who tends to a lot more grass than the average gardener.

Rather he is looking to extend this plot of land in one long stretch as far as the Brecon Beacons. He has also managed to raise £1.4m over the last five years to buy grass in Somerset and Dorset.
