Filnore Woods Community Woodland provides a diverse range of habitats for wildlife, gives people a wild place to visit, and provides opportunities for education. The woods are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. To find them, cross the field at the back of the Leisure Centre, the one with the skateboard park in it. The entrance is just beyond the new allotments. Click the link below to find out more.

Keeping Filnore Woods attractive for people and for wildlife needs a lot of work. Brambles, thistles and nettles are trying to take over the site and the grass needs cutting at least once a year to retain and promote the wildflowers. We rely on volunteers to do this valuable work. If you would like to get involved you can join the emailing list by emailing below or phone Jerry Dicker on 01454 416945.

The group has been created to conserve, monitor, maintain, promote and protect Thornbury's Medieval Fishponds. The aim is to preserve the site so that it continues to support a wide range of flora and fauna, and to ensure that the archaeological aspects of the site are protected. For more information, please contact Dave Rowley on 01454 412941 or by email below.

We have a very active nestbox team carrying out site and habitat surveys, nestbox manufacture, installation and monitoring. We have nearly 200 nestboxes in our area.
The South Glos group attends numerous school fetes, open days and conservation events through the year to help promote the work of the Trust and to encourage new membership.

The RSPB website has lots of useful information, including an excellent A-Z guide to UK birds.

Thornbury's “Secret Garden” is a delightful haven behind Turnberrie's Community Centre, open daily in daylight hours from 1st April to 31st October. It is wheel-chair accessible from Turnberrie's and from Upper Bath Road. There is seating where visitors may eat lunch, read and enjoy watching the birds, insects and squirrel attracted to the flowers and walnut trees.
The garden features a pergola, a solar-powered water feature, an interesting display of rocks and fossils from Aust Cliff and windchimes. It involves local groups, including the disabled and local schools, as well as the wider community.
