Biographical Info

The group was formed to share knowledge about the unique wildlife habitats in the parish of Minchinhampton and to enjoy the local environment in the company of like-minded people. We also monitor and investigate local habitats in conjunction with conservation organisations. Knowledge that we gain is shared on this website and by creating documented walks around the parish.

On the last Sunday of each month we normally meet at 10:30am in the Minchinhampton Bell Lane car park for a two-hour walk, with plenty of opportunities to look at local flora and fauna. The walk often ends with Sunday lunch at a local pub.

We are an informal group of friends who enjoy walking, wildlife, good company and the occasional trip the pub. You are very welcome to join us – but entirely at your own risk!!

All walks use public footpaths which may be steep, rough and slippery. Prepare accordingly.

We generally start at 10.30, unless otherwise specified in the programme.

If the weather is very poor, we will cancel by email by 9.00am on the relevant morning.
