Celebrate wildlife and nature at a picnic on National Meadows Day in Nailsworth
NAILSWORTH will celebrate National Meadows Day at a picnic this Saturday.
It's an annual celebration of wildflower meadows and their wildlife.
People are encouraged to bring a picnic, come in fancy dress and join in bug hunts and bee hotel making on King George V playing field, Nailsworth on Saturday, July 1, from noon till 3pm.
Over 97% of meadows have been lost since 1945.
A single healthy meadow can be home to over 80 species of wild flowers, these flowers will attract bees and other pollinators.
Nailsworth Town Council is putting on this event as part of ‘Plan Bee’ their Bee Friendly Town initiative, and the national Save our Magnificent Meadows project.
