Baydons Meadow Wildlife Group

The group exists to manage Baydons Meadow, a field beside the river in Chippenham, as a hay meadow.

Over the years we are increasing the numbers of wildflowers and invertebrates, and are gradually reducing the incidence of coarse grasses and other vigorous plants.

We are a small group of volunteers, who would welcome help from anyone with a few hours to spare. We meet on the first Sunday morning each month. Please see the Volunteering page for details and dates.

Wildflower Walk 2.30pm Sunday 29th June

As part of Chippenham Council's 'Restoring Nature' group we welcome you to join a guided walk round the meadow looking at the wildflowers, butterflies and other invertebrates.
No need to book.
Meet at the meadow beside the blue bridge.
