NATIONAL MEADOWS DAY

Species-rich grassland supports a huge range of wildlife, including wildflowers, insects, reptiles, amphibians, mammals and birds. It helps store carbon, provides a habitat for crop pollinators and reduces the chance of flooding by holding water. This once ubiquitous habitat – a longstanding icon of rural Britain – now makes up just 1% of the UK’s land cover.
