A series of unimproved meadows are situated adjacent to the east bank of Newbourne Springs, downstream of Street Farm. Some of the meadows, for example the meadow adjacent to Street Farm and Puddingpokes meadow are managed by one annual cut. As a consequence they support a herb-rich community characteristic of wet meadows; for example ragged robin, southern marsh orchid, tubular water-dropwort and water forget-me-not grow frequently here. The meadows which are not managed on a regular basis are colonised by a less diverse community composed of hairy willowherb, yellow flag, lesser pond sedge and meadowsweet. The reed-fringed dykes and stream support good numbers of reed and sedge warblers.
