The importance of grasslands and flowering meadows in the landscape

On 6 November 2025 we organised a conference that came about through collaboration between professionals from various fields on the LIFE DIVERSEED project. Our aim is to create seed mixtures of grassland species in Slovakia, which opens a whole new chapter.
