- Motion reference: S6M-13565
That the Parliament recognises that 6 July 2024 is National Meadows Day; acknowledges what it sees as the vital work of people in Scotland who are at the heart of meadow making and managing species-rich grasslands, such as machair, from crofters, farmers and land managers to local authorities managing wildlife-rich road verges, and local communities looking after urban meadows and grassland greenspace, and considers that meadows and species-rich grasslands support rural livelihoods, nature recovery, climate mitigation and adaptation, sustainable food production, and health and wellbeing.
