Mark the location of webs or caterpillars before mowing
A replicated, before-and-after study in 2015–2016 in four wet meadows in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland (Błoński 2016) reported that after marsh fritillary Euphydryas aurinia caterpillar webs were marked prior to mowing, the number of webs increased the following year. Results were not tested for statistical significance. One year after marsh fritillary caterpillar webs were marked prior to mowing there were 17–46 webs/site, compared to 10–20 webs/site the previous year. In 2015, marsh fritillary caterpillar webs in four meadows were marked with flags so that they could be avoided during mowing (at one site trees and shrubs were also removed to restore habitat). In August 2015–2016, marsh fritillary caterpillar webs were surveyed at each site.

Maintain or restore traditional water meadows and bogs
A replicated, before-and-after study in 2014–2016 in six wet meadows in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland (Błoński 2016) reported that after trees and shrubs were removed from the wet meadows the number of marsh fritillary Euphydryas aurinia caterpillar webs increased the following year. Results were not tested for statistical significance. One year after trees and shrubs were removed there were 14–57 webs/site, compared to 8–35 webs/site the previous year. From 2014–2015, six meadows were managed by manual cutting and mowing of trees and bushes (at one site marsh fritillary caterpillar webs were also marked with flags so that they could be avoided during mowing). In August–September 2014–2016, marsh fritillary caterpillar webs were surveyed at each site (four sites in 2014 and 2015, two sites in 2015 and 2016).
