Thank you for supporting Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust's Knapp Lane Meadows appeal.

Your donation will help us to connect up our county for wildlife, helping us to create a complete corridor of GWT connectivity in this landscape. From our Daneway Banks reserve 6.3km away, wildlife can flourish through Siccaridge Wood and Sapperton Valley, Trillis Banks and shady Three Groves Wood, Dimmel’s Dale and Blackness Banks, before reaching Knapp Lane Meadows and heading out onto the Stroud Commons, taking in Neu Lindsay, Box Wood and Stuart Fawkes. What an incredible outcome for wildlife in our county.

Check out our interactive map to find your squares and watch Knapp Lane Meadows fill up with wonderful Meadow Makers like you.

Here are just some of the species who will benefit from a more connected Gloucestershire, made possible with your donation:
