National Meadows Day 2025
Our meadows are incredible and irreplaceable habitats – and they’re in trouble!
Join us this National Meadows Day to make sure our meadows don’t become a memory.
Plantlife’s National Meadows Day is an annual celebration on the first Saturday of July, to celebrate these incredible habitats and our connection to them, which goes back to our ancestors.
For centuries people have been caring for our meadows – but they are now more at risk than ever.
This #NationalMeadowsDay, we are calling on the government to protect irreplaceable meadows, and we need your help.
How would you feel if someone knocked down an historical building like the Houses of Parliament, just to build it somewhere else? Or reduced Edinburgh Castle to rubble and created a lacklustre replica. It wouldn’t be the same, right?
The same applies to meadows. Without proper protections, the destruction of meadows is continuing.
That’s why we’re calling for irreplaceable meadows to be added to the Irreplaceable Habitats list.
