Project sowing seeds for grassland revival
Western Daily Press
|October 18, 2025
CORNWALL is leading the way in one of the National Trust's most ambitious and important nature recovery efforts the revival of species-rich grassland.
-
Since 2020, over 28.5 hectares of meadow have been restored at Lansallos, Coombe Farm and Ethy, with a further 100 hectares planned over the next five years, subject to funding. These restored meadows have now become critical donor sites, supplying wildflower seed to help create and enhance grasslands at other National Trust (NT) sites across Cornwall including Cotehele, Godrevy, the Roseland and parts of west Cornwall.
Rangers, volunteers and tenant farmers have harvested around 1,000 kilograms of wildflower seed over the past three summers, with the seed then carefully dried and sown at sites across the county.
