The charity says donations "will help us protect, restore and sustain the meadows in our care".

A wildlife trust is thanking supporters after bringing in nearly double its donation target for a project to protect meadows.

Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust launched a bid to fundraise £10,000 to look after the county’s remaining wildflower meadows in July.

Across the UK an estimated 97% of wildflower meadows have been lost since the 1930s.

The trust said £19,104 has been donated in total to fund its scheme.
