Have you registered for the Big Meadows Count yet?

Post by LisaSchneidau »

Calling all meadow makers and meadow owners in Devon! You are invited to take part in our exciting citizen science project - The Big Devon Meadows Count 2025 - a joint initiative between Moor Meadows and the Devon Biodiversity Records Centre.

What's involved:
Simply survey your meadow - whatever its size or species richness - just once this summer, anytime between 1st June and 31st August.

Further details and register here: https://moormeadows.org.uk/big-devon-me ... ount-2025/

🔹 No expertise needed! We’ll provide all the resources you need, including survey training and exclusive access to mini video guides.

🔹 Learn what defines a species-rich meadow, improve your plant ID skills, and contribute to vital biodiversity records for Devon.

🔹 Last year’s pilot project revealed remarkable results - several participants discovered their meadows were so plant-diverse that they qualified for County Wildlife Site designation, the equivalent of a gold medal for habitat conservation in the UK.

📌 Already have a professional meadow survey?
If you’ve had a botanical survey within the last five years, The Devon Biodiversity Records Centre would greatly appreciate your data contributions, if you’re happy to share your findings.

Further details and register here: https://moormeadows.org.uk/big-devon-me ... ount-2025/

I hope you’ll take part in the project by surveying your meadow (or several) this summer!
