Come and help inspire young people to learn all about wildflower meadow restoration, why it's so important, how we are doing it, along with behind the scenes work at the Cumbria Seed Bank itself. 

Working with the Lottery Heritage Fund, we are a special outreach project with the Kew Millennium Seed Bank, designed to gather and store plant species in Cumbria to protect the genetic diversity of vulnerable species, along with restoring endangered wildflower meadows. 

By getting involved you will be at the forefront of delivering this unique project out in the field, through ID surveys and seed collecting and storage, to propagation in the nursery and plug planting in the field. 

This unique project aims to train people in these vital heritage skills, to ensure these endangered meadows can get the restoration boost they badly need, with a 97% decline in these habitats since the 1930s.  

In addition to the active restoration work, the project culminates with a 'Young Environmental Leaders' residential to Kew Millennium Seed Bank itself for those who have been most engaged with the project.
