Kew Wakehurst – in partnership with the Middle Marches Community Land Trust, Marches Meadow Group and the High Weald National Landscape Team – invites land managers, ecologists, farmers, gardeners, researchers, and anyone passionate about wildflower meadows, to a two-day conference exploring how cutting-edge meadow science can be applied in the real world.
From soils and fungi to seeds, pollination, grazing and nature-connectedness, this year’s programme brings together an inspiring line-up of speakers and practitioners working at the forefront of meadow ecology.
Whether you manage a large estate, community greenspace or your own garden meadow, you will leave with practical knowledge you can immediately put into action.
The conference will take place in a 250-seat marquee set within Yew Tree Meadow beside the Millennium Seed Bank, one of the most important conservation sites in the world. Set in the heart of the High Weald National Landscape, this is a perfect setting to explore the future of species-rich grasslands.
