Will you help restore Norfolk's lost meadows?

Help us bring back the joyful sights and sounds of summer to Norfolk's countryside.

We have lost a devastating number of Norfolk's meadows since the mid 20th century.

Due to the changing way our landscape is managed, less than 5% of Norfolk's meadows remain. 

This loss is part of a tragic picture for some of our most loved plants, animals and insects, many of which are clinging on to life in isolated patches of this ancient habitat.

Happily, with your support, we can restore Norfolk's meadows, and with them the rare and vulnerable wildlife that calls them home. 

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help bring life back to our landscape.

Your donation could help bring back the buzz of a hairy-footed flower bee, the sunny yellow of a cowslip, or a bright orange cloud of small copper butterflies to Norfolk's meadows.

We'll turn your donations into daisies and your gifts into grasshoppers...

We are already successfully working on our nature reserves and with local communities to create and restore meadows. But, with your support we can do so much more. Help us raise £30,000 to bring back the joyful sights and sounds of summer to Norfolk.
