Welcome to the members' part of the website
You help us protect some incredible places across our three counties. We want to share some of the sights and experiences that, without your support, probably wouldn't exist!
Walks for new members
Walks for new members' will be listed below. This list will be updated throughout the year so make sure to check back for updates!
Wells Farm - Wednesday 31 July, 5pm-7pm
At Wells Farm the Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wildlife Trust is striking a balance between farming wheat and barley and creating a thriving habitat for wildlife. The open fields are edged by six-metre wide margins that have been sown with a colourful wildflower seed mixture which attract insects and small mammals. Join us for a walk for new members' at this site this summer!
Warburg - Thursday 26 September
High up in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Warburg Nature Reserve is a remote and magnificent place, rich in exciting plants and animals all through the year. The flower-rich grasslands in the valley bottom give way to extensive woodlands rising up the valley sides. Warburg Nature Reserve even has its own microclimate with exceptionally cold temperatures on winter nights.
Join us at a new members' walk at this site as Autumn begins!
