Nature Recovery in Cornwall Exhibition

Explore how the National Trust and partners are tackling habitat loss, through the Coastal Meadows project and the Lizard Rarities Project, in this photography exhibition.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

On a single day in summer, one acre of wildflower meadow can contain 3 million flowers, producing 1kg of nectar sugar. That's enough to support nearly 96,000 honeybees per day.

97% of species-rich grassland has been lost in the UK since the 1930s, with the remaining 3% mostly fragmented across the country, leaving little room for wildlife to spread.

Explore how the National Trust and partners are tackling these issues, through the Coastal Meadows project and the Lizard Rarities Project, in this photography exhibition.
