Chapter Meadows, located alongside the scenic River Severn, offers an escape into nature in the heart of Worcester. Recently acquired by 3dtotal Publishing, this nature reserve is set to undergo a revitalisation with a renewed focus on conservation, biodiversity, and community involvement.

Our vision for Chapter Meadows is to build on the fantastic work of the Duckworth Worcestershire Trust, further enhancing existing habitats and creating new ones. We aim to make the meadows a welcoming space for everyone, with new points of interest and activities for visitors. Whether you’re a local resident, nature enthusiast, or simply looking for a peaceful place to walk and reflect, Chapter Meadows is here for you.

Our mission

• Habitat restoration: we are committed to creating diverse ecosystems within the meadows, from wildflower areas and ponds to tree and hedge planting. By allowing nature to thrive, we aim to attract and support a wide variety of wildlife.
• Rewilding initiatives: to further our commitment to nature, we will designate specific areas for rewilding—allowing native species to flourish with minimal human intervention.
• Community involvement: we believe in the power of community. Chapter Meadows will offer regular opportunities for locals to get involved in conservation efforts through volunteer programs.

Key developments

• Pond creation: we will introduce new ponds to encourage amphibians, water birds, and insects, contributing to the overall biodiversity of the site.
• Bird conservation: by installing new bird boxes and protecting nesting habitats, we aim to increase bird populations and safeguard local species.
• Picnic and seating areas: we plan to enhance the visitor experience with picnic areas, seating, walking trails, and a welcoming space to relax and take in the natural beauty of Chapter Meadows.
• Sustainability initiatives: in keeping with our environmental philosophy, Chapter Meadows will be maintained with sustainable practices.
