Working Parties

Members can take part in Working Parties to help with the restoration and maintenance of the meadows.

These are held once a month throughout the year. Working Parties take place from Jan - Mar at 9.30am on the second Saturday and from Apr - July at 4.30pm on the second Wednesday. No booking is required; just turn up at the start time at Rose Cottage. Wellington boots or stout footwear is needed. Tools can be provided.

Working Party

Everyone is welcome to help but no dogs or small children please.The usual tasks include picking up litter, ragwort removal, control of nettles, brambles etc, weed clearance from the carriers, bonfires and clearance to reveal sluices before restoration.

Information regarding working parties can be had by telephoning Rosemary Allen on 01722 333819.

Illustrated Talks

Normally given by the Chairman, anywhere in the Salisbury area. To arrange this please telephone 01722 328 162.

New ‘Short’ Walk

For those with lesser walking ability, or lesser time, we have created a shorter walk over the Meadows, starting from Rose Cottage garden. This has involved new gates and bridges, which have been paid for partly from our reserves and partly from a grant to the Trust which was specifically to be used for improvements to the infrastructure of the Meadows.
