Ways
into wildlife
Avon Wildlife Trust looks after 38
nature reserves in the local area - from bluebell woods
to butterfly-filled meadows, from grassy hill forts to
shimmering waterland. By managing land with wildlife
in mind, we’ve brought back breeding lapwings to Gordano
Valley and small blue butterflies to Bathampton Oxbow.
Green spaces are good for you
Climb
the steep slopes of Goblin Combe, stride out across the
Clapton Circuit, and raise your spirits with the skylarks
on Puxton Moor. Work out with the Wildlife Action Group
with a spot of scrub-bashing or step-building.
It’s
a fact, the great green outdoors counteracts the stresses
and strains of modern life - it’s healthy and it’s
free! Download
a detailed walk for each site from the selection below
or download the full Top 10 Reserves
Guide (PDF format).

Simon
King, Avon Wildlife Trust President
“I care passionately about wildlife
and the fate of our wonderful and precious natural heritage,
and so the work of the Trust is of great significance to
me. I also love this region. Bristol and Bath are among the
greenest and most wildlife-friendly cities in the world,
and the more people realise just what they have on their
doorsteps, the more they will care about what happens to
it.”
A new series of interactive guides to walks
in and
around our nature reserves.
