Protect our Irreplaceable Meadows

This year on National Meadows Day, we are campaigning for the protection of irreplaceable meadows – and we need your help!

Plantlife – the global voice for wild plants and fungi.

Wild plants and fungi support food chains, are a powerful force against climate crisis and underpin all life on earth. They enrich our natural landscapes, and their beauty and colours can calm our minds.  But 2 in 5 species are currently at risk of extinction.

Plantlife is at the heart of a worldwide network that is spearheading the race to save plants and fungi.

Join us to tackle the greatest challenge of our times. We need wild plants and fungi to survive. Now, they need us too.
