Moor Meadows is a community movement dedicated to the conservation, restoration, and creation of wildflower meadows - from a garden patch to acres across the landscape. Join us!

Where have all the bees and butterflies gone? Where are all the flowers that support them?

The answer is simple...

The Big Devon Meadows Count 2025

The Big Devon Meadows Count is an exciting Moor Meadows and Devon Biodiversity Records Centre citizen science project. We invited meadow makers in Devon to take part; by surveying and recording the wildflowers in their meadow this summer - whatever its size, species-richness, or stage of development.

Over 500 sites have registered to take part.

We look forward to sharing our findings, later this year.

Help us Map Dartmoor and Devon’s meadows

We are aiming to map the extent of flower-rich grasslands across Dartmoor and Devon. Help us build a picture of how many meadows there are. Everyone can view the map to see the collective effort being made to create a nature-rich West Country.

Me and my meadow

Across Dartmoor and beyond, hundreds of people are managing many acres of wildflower-rich meadows as a habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna, all helping to create a living landscape across the region.
