Our aim is to keep the reserve as when humankind lived and worked in the area as an integral part of nature. This small piece of nature in the heart of town is maintained and supported by local volunteers for the good of all who wish to escape or have an interest in the ecological and social history of Oulton Broad.
Why not join us and experience the great outdoors, make new friends, get your hands dirty and play your part in saving the countryside for future generations.
Volunteers
Meadow is undertaken almost entirely by volunteers. The team is small and is in real need of new people to help. If you can give some time, even if it’s only occasionally please contact Peter – 01502 514157 Margaret 01502 584261.
February 2023 The RHS awards Bonds Meadow a ‘Your Neighbourhood Award’ distinction which is the highest level. The BMA have climbed through the levels over successive years to gain this prestigious award which recognises the hard work and dedication of the Volunteers who manage Bonds Meadow for the community. Speaking about all the groups who received awards at the ceremony Brian Thornton, organiser of the RHS scheme said "These people in Lowestoft and the surrounding area are making a huge difference to the town, the groups of volunteers work tirelessly on a regular basis, clearing litter, planting trees, shrubs, bulbs and more to generally improve areas of neglect”. Representatives of the BMA; Peter, Margaret, Christine and Anita were at the ceremony at The Waterside Complex in Corton to recieve the award. Click here to read the Lowestoft Journal article.
