We aim to make Winchcombe a haven for wildlife by planting trees and wilding our gardens and green areas, thereby creating welcoming spaces for wildlife and people alike.
Through talks, workshops and community activities, we spark awareness and action - helping people understand the challenges facing our natural world and empowering them to protect Winchcombe's environment.
If you would like to help us put nature first, please use the 'contact us' tab to let us know you are interested. We are also enthusiastic for any ideas about local projects which can help wildlife or nature thrive so please also contact us with any suggestions you have
