Summary

The Bedgrove Residents & Community Association, Chiltern Rangers, and Buckinghamshire Council’s Parks Team have joined forces to restore Bedgrove Spinney.

Detailed description

The Bedgrove Residents & Community Association, Chiltern Rangers, and Buckinghamshire Council’s Parks Team have joined forces to restore Bedgrove Spinney which has existed since the 17th century. By working together with our local community we hope to ensure its future and make it an improved space for people and wildlife.


We will be starting our restoration work by removing damaged trees and overhanging branches. This will allow more light into the Spinney and will help make the pathways more accessible and safer for all. We will also be making and installing bat and owl boxes to help bring more wildlife to Bedgrove. Then there will be tree planting too!


We are relying on our local community and volunteers to make the Spinney more welcoming to everyone and to improve access for all. Please come and join us for the whole day or just an hour or two. There are plenty of tasks for all ages and abilities and we hope that you are able to join us!

Getting there

Meet us on site at 10am by the Queens Green Canopy area planted in 2022 (access down the side of the Church of the Holy Spirit, W3W - logo.select.panel) Please walk to site if you are able to but if you do need to drive, please park in Bedgrove Community Centre, off Ambleside, HP21 9TT, W3W - mirror.codes.bound. Or there is free parking for two hours at Jansel Square shops, W3W - buzz.shiny.dance. If you arrive after 10am, please make your way into the Spinney to find us.

About Chiltern Rangers

Here at Chiltern Rangers, our mission is to enhance the Chilterns’ habitats through conservation, education and community engagement.

We work with local communities to provide habitat management in Buckinghamshire and the Chilterns. You will find us in the woodlands, chalk grasslands, commons, ponds and chalk streams. We also manage 13 nature reserves for Buckinghamshire Council.

Our work can only be achieved with the help of our volunteers – people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds, plus community organisations, charities, social enterprises, schools & colleges. We would love you to be part of our team.
