Cheshire Wildlife Trust and National Highways have joined forces to deliver a new Network for Nature project, creating and enhancing 30ha of wildflower meadows that will improve habitats across Cheshire benefitting people, nature and wildlife.

Hannah Dalton, Senior Living Landscape Officer at Cheshire Wildlife Trust said: “We are delighted to have been successful securing this funding to support our Pollinating Cheshire project. The funding will help us to work with farmers and landowners, creating beautiful meadows to support a wealth of wildlife across Cheshire”

We live in one of the most nature depleted countries in the world. We’ve lost of 97% of lowland meadows across the UK and 99% in Cheshire. These places once hummed with the buzz of bees, and beautiful butterflies. Funding designated by National Highways aims to help create, restore and connect places for nature to come back and thrive; where the environment has been impacted by activities from previous road building.
