Chinnor Hill is a BBOWT nature reserve in the Chilterns. In the past, we've cleared scrub and build several sets of steps on this site. Today's work is most likely to be scrub clearance, either to maintain the chalk grassland or the numerous footpaths in the area. We'll be working alongside a warden from BBOWT, so we'll have expert direction and a chance to admire the views over Oxfordshire.

Over the last year we've done a number of days' work at this former rubbish dump in North Oxford. It's now protected as a Town Green, and our work with rubbish removal, habitat creation, path clearing, meadow work and bramble bashing has helped to improve it noticeably. On quite a small site, there are ponds, woodland and meadow areas, and it's a popular outdoor space with the local community. Today we'll be continuing this work. Since this site is only a short walk from the centre of Oxford, feel free to come along for any part of the day if you want to see if conservation volunteering is for you!

This week we'll be laying another section of hedge, just along from the section we completed in October. Without active management a hedge becomes simply a line of large trees. Instead, a dense hedge forms a corridor, home and food source for a range of wildlife. And hedgelaying is the traditional way of achieving this. This will be the last hedgelaying we do until the Autumn due to the start of the bird nesting season. So come to the last chance to participate in this skilled and valuable work.

OCV's committee meets once a month in the Oxford Town Hall to make sure that the group operates smoothly. If you'd like to come along and see how we run things, please feel free to join us. Alternatively, we'll be in Far from the Madding Crowd (a pub in Friar's entry, near Borders) from about 9pm. | |
