National Trust's Wildflower Meadow Project Thrives in North Devon

The National Trust's wildflower meadow project in north Devon has thrived just 18 months after planting, as reported but the Guardian. The first phase, covering 90 hectares at Woolacombe, Vention, and South Hole now features flowers like oxeye daisies and viper’s bugloss increasing wildflower coverage from 2% to 40%. This success has attracted various wildlife, including bees, grasshoppers, butterflies, and birds. By 2030, the Trust aims to expand to 1,275 hectares helping restore the UK's endangered grasslands.
