About us

Our vision is a landscape in which traditionally-managed floodplain meadows deliver beauty and utility sustainably. In 2006, the Floodplain Meadows Partnership was formed with a mission to address the urgent need to promote and conserve Britain's floodplain meadows.

We seek to demonstrate the value of functioning meadows, to increase public appreciation of them and to advocate for their restoration as a tool for tackling the climate and biodiversity emergencies.

Our strategic priorities are:

A. To promote the benefits of floodplain meadows to relevant stakeholder groups, including policymakers, through effective partnership working.

B. To facilitate the management and restoration of floodplain meadows, enabling them to deliver beauty and utility. 

We believe a target of 70,000 ha of floodplain meadows is appropriate given the significant benefits they deliver and the scale of their loss.
