Environment & Outdoors – Abingdon on Thames Town Council

Abingdon-on-Thames enjoys a unique closeness to the natural environment for a town of its size. Local people enjoy this aspect of living here to the full and there are many clubs and societies devoted to enjoying, conserving, preserving, exploring or maintaining our environment.

Town Council are supporting any initiative within its services that can contribute to green policies and action against global warming. Abingdon Carbon Cutters have Wednesday meetings. See AbiBinIt information and the civic Plastic Free Abingdon initiative.

Local walkers in towns and local villages ‘leave only footprints’ including picking up the trash of others and dog walkers who pick up not only after their own pet but any other foul material which gives dogs a bad name.

Any local club or society not listed below which is not listed please contact the Town Council at enquiries@abingdon.gov.uk to submit an entry. You are welcome to add an event to the town diary which will in most cases accept an activity in an adjoining village.
