The Usk Environmental Group created Jane's meadow which is a wildflower meadow project by the group in Usk. They approached Usk Town Council and Monmouthshire County Council to see if they would release part of the Old Market field/Memorial Hall field (now Owain Glyndwr field) to enable them to create a wildflower meadow. The work on the meadow has been recognised with a plaque, awarded by Usk Civic Society in 2004.
