Two new community groups for East Devon and the Blackdown Hills aim to support landowners and gardeners keen to restore or create wildflower meadows.
The local More Meadows groups are based on the successful Moor Meadows Dartmoor community, which since its founding in 2015 has grown to include more than 800 meadow-makers, managing more than 1,000 acres of wildflower meadow to benefit wild plants and wildlife on Dartmoor and beyond.
Thanks to funding from Devon Environment Foundation, the More Meadows concept is an attempt to replicate the original Moor Meadows group’s success by supporting new networks of meadow-makers across Devon.
