A great way to meet new friends and make both positive environmental and social impacts whilst keeping fit.

PLEASE RSVP and let us know if you cannot make it, or will be late, so that we know how many to plan for and when to expect you.

General activities include:

Clearing areas within the meadow for enrichment planting with wildflowers; creating log/turf piles; maintaining access to improve nature connection provision.

There is no obligation to do manual tasks and Friends of Belle Isle Park welcome anyone who would like to build a community with other regular users of the park, or help run regular volunteer events.

Friends of Belle Isle Park (FoBIP)

We are a group of predominantly local park users who recognise the value of this special place in regards to nature, and mental and physical well-being. Over years, we have worked with the council to agree a management strategy that aims to create a wilder Belle Isle, and thus increase opportunities for nature connection and all the benefits that brings to the community.

Belle Isle Park

Opened in 1997, Belle Isle is Exeter's newest park. With a view of ‘Leaf Land’ woods and the River Exe, the park is a favourite spot for lunchtime picnicking and casual bird watching. Herons, Egrets, Kingfishers, cormorants, woodpeckers, swifts and swallows are regular visitors. It's also a great place to watch the bats flying at dusk.
