We are very lucky in Charlton Kings to have beautiful countryside on our doorstep, with a wonderful variety of different habitats, from grassland and woodland to rivers and ponds. But we know that globally and locally, biodiversity is declining and our wildlife is threatened.

That is why we want to focus on what we can do as a Parish Council, as a community, and as individuals, to protect the habitats in Charlton Kings, improve the biodiversity and wildlife-friendliness of our gardens and green spaces, and create opportunities for people to connect with the nature that surrounds us.

We have lots of talks, workshops and events planned over the next few months.
