It is with enormous regret that the Trustees of The Grasslands Trust have decided to place the charity into liquidation. This is due to a combination of factors: the unexpected collapse of our plans to purchase a farm in Herefordshire late last year, a decline in unrestricted income essential to support running costs and difficulties securing matched funding for projects. Despite a concerted effort by staff to generate emergency funds and cut costs, The Grasslands Trust is unable to continue trading lawfully.
This is an immensely sad time given what the charity has achieved in the ten years of its existence. We would like to extend an enormous thank you to all our staff, supporters, funders, volunteers, partners and friends who have helped us since 2002.
The Trustees have appointed MacIntyre Hudson as liquidators.

For WMNN with its large numbers of long running and committed partners, we hope this is not the end. Following discussions with the liquidators and with the help of our partners we will endeavour to pick up and move ahead with our vital work of protecting and restoring species-rich meadows.
