FROM PLANTLIFE—NATURAL MEADOWS ARE A NATIONAL TREASURE

View this email in your browser Donate Join Shop Dear John, For generations, meadows and people have worked together to survive – making food, supporting livelihoods and helping to combat climate change. Their history is our history. But as our connection with nature has dwindled, meadows have suffered too. Development, intensive farming and misguided tree planting have all left their mark on these landscapes. We’ve lost an estimated 97% of wildflower meadows since the 1930s. When we think of ‘national treasures’, we tend to think of people, but maybe it’s time we recognise nature as the national treasure it is? We can’t stand by and watch them vanish. With your support we can protect what’s left and restore so much more. Will you donate today to help protect these national treasures? A donation of £5 could help restore the biodiversity of 45m2 of meadow*. Donate Wildflower meadow We need to safeguard these irreplaceable meadows from future destruction and restore their wild plant and fungal diversity at scale.
