In my home county of Cheshire, we've lost 99% of our wildflower meadows. 99%!
Let's encourage wildflowers on verges and public spaces. They look beautiful and are great for our declining pollinators.
Dear councils, 97% of meadows are gone. So please make a commitment for next year. If you have wildflowers on verges and in public spaces, don't poison them or over-mow them. Let them grow as a lifeline for insects like bees, butterflies and hoverflies 🐝
