Nature & Gardening

The UK has experienced a significant loss of biodiversity over the last 50 years. The State of Nature Report 2023, compiled by Natural England along with many different conservation and research organisations, details the decline and identifies many of the actions required to reverse this.

Cricklade has several nature and gardening organisations which approach the challenge from different angles and in different spaces:

North Meadow

Dance Common

Cricklade Garening Club

Cricklade Bloomers
