This year we celebrate the value of our local biodiverse grasslands, including meadows.

Wildflower meadows look their best in summer, as flowers bloom and seed heads pop under the sun. They are hugely important resources which provide a sanctuary for wildlife, lock up carbon and are vital to our wellbeing.
However, our meadows are in trouble. The majority of our ancient species-rich grasslands have been lost, and now our meadows need us more than ever.
Get involved
Join Plantlife as we shout out about how important our wild plant-filled meadows are this National Meadows Day.
Here’s just a few ways you can discover your local meadows this National Meadows Day – either out and about or enjoying a virtual experience from your home.
Don’t forget to follow the countryside code when visiting green spaces to protect the delicate and rare species that call our meadows home.
