Letting nature return to 200 acres of Herefordshire countryside
The Meadowlands is our response to the biodiversity and climate crises.
With a balance of traditional conservation and rewilding approaches, we are trying to leave a richer, more resilient environment than the one we found.
Nature is threatened like never before
Like much of the UK, the intensification of agricultural had left most of The Meadowlands ecologically impoverished. But despite farming pressures we still have pockets bursting with diversity, from species-rich grassland to ancient woodland.
Wildlife can return and multiply if you let it
We’re giving nature space by letting these diverse pockets recover and expand across The Meadowlands, intervening as little as possible to restore biodiversity.
“We need to show where hope lies. Ecological restoration is a work of hope.”
— George Monbiot
