Species-rich Grasslands: Management in action

Species-rich grasslands were once common around the UK, but in less than half a century, we've lost nearly 97% of these valuable habitats. This loss amounts to nearly 7.5 million acres of wildflower meadows, making the rare and fragmented areas we have left even more vulnerable. From machair in the western coastline of the Hebridean Islands, to species-rich grasslands in the Cairngorms, down to meadows & rhos pasture in Wales: this webinar brings together a farmer and crofter panel to explore how appropriate grazing and cutting regimes can benefit species-rich grasslands. Jo Riggall from Plantlife shares the wider environmental and social benefits of species-rich grasslands and presents existing evidence on the importance of the right management.
