Over 97% of the UK’s species-rich grassland has been lost in less than a century and it now covers just 1% of land.
Plantlife is working across England, Scotland and Wales to restore it.
A grassland is an area such as a meadow, lawn or hillside dominated by grass. In the UK flower-filled grasslands are a defining feature of the summer, and colourful meadows and pastures of our countryside are what most easily spring to mind.
But there are many more grassland types – from the machair plains of north-west Scotland to the rolling hills of south-west England.
Some of our grasslands are still rich with many different species of wild plants and fungi – but sadly these are among the most threatened habitats in Britain.
There are many reasons for their decline, including conversion into crops and more intensive management, tree planting, being lost to development and more.
Plantlife helps farmers, landowners, and community groups take care of our grasslands for the future with practical advice. We also influence government policymaking to have an impact across biodiversity, planning, agriculture, and climate change.
We are working to ensure there is the right legislation, policy, and funding in place to help create, restore, and take care of our species-rich grasslands.
After a big government announcement, our experts have been delving into the details on the latest funding changes for farmers.
As governments continue to undervalue grasslands, Plantlife is calling on policymakers to help farmers make sustainable choices.
