Circular Walks Project

Picture
​At the RDS Footpaths and Cycleways Committee meeting on 10 March 2021 there was agreement that we should have a campaign to secure new circular walks for Romsey, following on from the huge increase in people walking for exercise during the pandemic, and with a focus on health and well-being.  A draft report and maps are being prepared. More information coming soon.

Swift Project

Over the past four years, RDS Natural Environment Committee has been actively encouraging greater awareness of the steep decline in the numbers of swifts in the England and particularly in Romsey, primarily as a result of a loss of potential nesting sites. We started with a Swift Walk around the centre of Romsey in June 2017, led by Tim Norriss who was instrumental in setting up Hampshire Swifts

Secrets of the Solent

Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust Secrets of the Solent – Marine Wildlife Wonders  was a talk about the Solent's amazing marine species and habitats, the pressures that they face, and how to get involved in protecting their future. The Solent is a fascinating and special marine environment, home to a wide range of weird and wonderful species. At this talk the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust uncovered the Solent's underwater world, from elusive cuttlefish to majestic, fast disappearing seagrass meadows, so important for carbon capture.
