About us

We are a community-led group bringing together local people of all ages and backgrounds. We share an enthusiasm for bringing back more wildlife and improving biodiversity in our gardens and in the public spaces around our neighbourhood. Joining our group is free and easy. Sign up to the bi-monthly newsletter to see what activities are up and coming and express an interest in certain areas.

Our vision

Teg Down and Dean Lane form a gateway from urban Winchester into open countryside beyond. Many of us who live here greatly value the diversity of the natural environment on our doorstep and would like to see more of nature’s riches thriving right in our community.

Our values

As a community group, our agreed values guide our actions and decisions. We aim to be inclusive of people of all ages and backgrounds, to be open to fresh perspectives and to learning, and to be respectful of all individuals who wish to engage with us.

Our purpose

The main purpose of our group is to help raise awareness and understanding of the diversity of nature across Teg Down and encourage local people to be part of activities that will make more space for wildlife in our community.
