WOODMEADOW TRUST

Woodmeadow Trust is a pioneering charity taking practical action for nature and people by creating woodmeadows and inspiring others to plant and look after these exceptional habitats. We aim to promote woodmeadows throughout the UK whilst continuing to develop our flagship site, Three Hagges Woodmeadow, near York.

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
