Celebrating National Meadows Day

  • Submitted by: Mark Ruskell, Mid Scotland and Fife, Scottish Green Party.
  • Date lodged: Tuesday, 07 July 2020
  • Motion reference: S5M-22234

That the Parliament recognises National Meadows Day; understands that the day celebrates the beauty and biodiversity of wildflower meadows, while also drawing attention to their loss and vulnerability; notes the importance of maintaining and expanding meadows in tackling the climate emergency; supports Plantlife Scotland’s call for current environmental standards to be maintained or enhanced after the UK is no longer covered by EU regulations, and recognises with concern that, since 1930, over 97% of meadows and other species rich grasslands have been destroyed.
