Wild Bicester

Wild Bicester is a joint project between the Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wildlife Trust, Cherwell District Council and Bicester Town Council. We want to invite everyone, whatever their age or background, to get involved and turn their homes and communities into wildlife-rich places to create a greener, healthier and wilder Bicester.

We need wilder neighbourhoods, towns and gardens

Bicester’s wild urban patches and green spaces – including gardens - are crucial, offering essential homes for wildlife, connecting wild places and bringing wildlife, and the benefits of a healthy natural world, into our lives.

Parks, allotments, school grounds and community spaces can all offer something for nature and, in doing so, can bring people together – creating healthier and more socially connected communities. 

Wilder neighbourhoods are an essential part of our health and wellbeing and we know that people who spend time in nature are happier and healthier.

We'd love to hear about your favourite wild places and your wildlife encounters in Bicester.  Join our Wild Bicester Facebook group here.

Community Groups

Many people in Bicester are already passionate about how their local patch – whether garden, street, or community space - could be greener & wilder and there is already some great conservation work being done in the town.  Check out some of the community groups already working in the town:
