Local Action Drives National Reaction: Kew's UK Seed Hub Launched

The work of the Weald Meadows Initiative Vanishing Meadows programme with key partners and supporters since 1996 has campaigned for National recognition and support for meadows and their owners in the High Weald AONB and beyond. By forging partnerships, resulting in a prestigious and rare Memorandum of Collaboration with the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, we will continue to support landowners to manage, enhance and create meadows with wild harvested Weald Native Origin Seed and in addition supply practical support and expertise to assist the new UK Native Seed Hub at Wakehurst in West Sussex.
