Hasketon Meadow is one of four meadows situated to the west of the village which have recently been denotified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. This remaining meadow, although no longer qualifying as a Site of Special Interest, fulfils the criteria for selection as a County Wildlife Site. It supports two distinct plant communities. Over half the meadow is herb-poor sward dominated by meadow foxtail, Yorkshire fog and cocksfoot. This is interspersed with areas of species-rich grassland. Amongst the more common wild flowers for example bird's-foot trefoil and ox-eye daisy, recorded in these patches are also a number of scarce Suffolk species for example green-winged orchid and pepper saxifrage. Hasketon Meadow is managed by an annual hay cut. It is considered that a more intensive management regime, for example cutting followed by cattle grazing the regrowth would increase the species diversity and conservation value of the site.
