Many applicants would like to plant wildflower meadows as part of their solution to reach a 10% uplift. While there isn't a specific habitat type for this, there is a way to do it!

  • Go to the BNG Solution Finder

  • Press on Creation (in the middle of the screen)

  • Press the yellow + button

  • Press "add intended work"

  • Select grassland and then select "other neutral grassland" and then select "moderate"

  • Draw in where the wildflower meadow will go

  • Return to the BNG solution finder

Make sure that the wildflower mix is part of a comprehensive plan to create the "other neutral grassland" (full details here). Please note, it's not as simple as just planting wildflower seed!!
