Chapter Meadows Nature Reserve
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.

Chapter meadows is a beautiful riverside nature reserve with space for wildlife, trees and wild flowers. Hundreds of saplings were planted earlier in the year and they now need some TLC to help them continue to grow. We'll be removing weeds around each one and adding some mulch to make sure they have lots of light and nutrients to thrive. We'll be on our hands and knees for this one and you may want to bring gloves.

Meet at the Hive at 6:30 for a gentle run down to the meadows which are opposite the cathedral. We have options to extend the run back by going down to Diglis if people have the energy and enthusiasm.

Options are available to run between 4km and 5km in total

Remember that we run to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
