Duke Meadows Trust

The Dukes Meadows Trust comprise of a very mixed bunch of people, reflecting the range of different cultures, backgrounds, lifestyles and ages in this community
What do we have in common
A desire to see Dukes Meadows, which has been sadly neglected over recent years, restored to its former glory.
Recognition of the enormous potential of the meadows, positioned on a beautiful sweep of the river.
A concern that if we don't start to look after the Meadows it will fall into worse neglect and may eventually, piece by piece, be lost to us.

A willingness to give up a little of our time to improve our environment.

A belief that everyone has something to offer and that the more people get involved the stronger and more effective we will be.
