Although wild flower grasslands have declined by 97% since 1940s we exist to strengthen and increase the remaining network of flower-rich grassland to improve the “Natural Capital” of Herefordshire.

This includes a whole range of public benefits that flower-rich grasslands provide to :

• Support pollinators vital for food production
• Maintain and increase wildlife habitat
• Increase nutritional value and productivity of diverse swards
• Improve drought resilience and carbon sequestration and storage
• Help maintain healthy soils and clean air and water
• Retain water for natural flood management and increased resilience in wet weather
• Protect historic features
• Improve mental and physical health, wellbeing and enjoyment of the countryside and heritage
