Discover the King's Meadows
Our pledge
Since the 1930s and the advent of post-war modern farming practices, the UK has lost 97% of its wild flower meadows. Before that, much of England’s grassland – from meadows, road verges and lawns - would have been home to a much more diverse flora than we have today.
Whilst our sites remain relatively unchanged agriculturally, some of the grassland areas have seen a diminishing botanical diversity over the past century. We have lots of sites where, with the right management, meadows both large and small can flourish. Creating and enhancing wildflower-rich grasslands at these sites will not only benefit nature and our environment, but will also help evoke a sense of surroundings more familiar to their historic occupants.
