Monkwood
Worcester local group welcomes you to join us for a range of wildlife-related events.
We’re lucky enough to have three great nature reserves on our doorstep; Monkwood, Trench Wood and Lower Smite Farm.
We welcome everyone to our talks, walks and reserve visits.
There are many ways you can get involved – from enjoying an event or helping out at meetings to volunteering with a work party on one of our reserves.

Helping your local nature reserve
Each of our local reserves holds volunteer work parties to help with their management.
A range of work is undertaken at each of the reserves – no experience is necessary as all tools and guidance are provided. Bring your own refreshments and wear suitable clothing and stout footwear.
For information about times and who to contact, visit our volunteering opportunities pages.
Recycling Scheme
Recycling printer cartridges and mobile phones raises money for the Trust. If you’d like to bring along any to our indoor meetings we’ll pass them on to staff at Lower Smite Farm. Please note that Epson cartridges cannot currently be accepted.
Recent Sightings
A tawny owl has been spotted near the Albion pub on Bath Road. Twit Twoo!
Otters have been spotted a few times along the River Severn in Worcester. Proof that even our city centres are attractive to wildlife.
We’d love to know if you’ve spotted anything exciting in your local area. You can email us at suzi@worcestershirewildlifetrust.org – if you managed to get a photo too that would be great!
