We’re Calling on the Government to Ban Peat Sales 

Horticultural businesses, major retailers and NGOs have come together to call on the government to legislate to end peat sales. 

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.
