17 YEARS of SCYTHING! How we SAVED a Swedish Meadow | MOWING MEADOWS E02: Måla Meadow

For 17 years, we have been working to save this meadow full of native wildflowers. Using scythes, blade hoes, and axes, we have been clearing this area every year to ensure that we don't lose rare species that are so important for our biodiversity.

Come along as I, my sons, and our scything team work away on this beautiful Swedish meadow, and I'll tell you how we got to this point.

This meadow has a very special place in my heart, and when you watch the video you'll understand why. Welcome to Måla Meadow.
