Oxford Conservation Volunteers : GroupSpaces

The Oxford Conservation Volunteers is a voluntary organisation which has been carrying out practical work conserving the wildlife and traditional landscape of the Oxford area since 1977. The group organises work parties every Sunday and undertakes a wide variety of nature conservation work. This can range from the traditional craft of hedgelaying to the thoroughly modern practice of fence building; from creating new hedges by tree planting to conserving chalk grassland habitats by scrub clearance.

Project Clearway - Footpath, Long Hanborough to Church Hanborough

Posted by Mike Thyer, Wednesday 6th June @ 9:06pm

Working alongside the Parish Council's own volunteers to improve access on the important, Public 'Coffin Path' Footpath between the villages of Long Hanborough and Church Hanborough, near Bladon. A short ride from Oxford, we have a day in the sun clearing back the turf that has grown over this 8ft wide tarmac footpath (created to be useable by all), and reduced it to a 1ft wide track (useable by 1 person).

Pond creation / woodland management

Posted by Mike Thyer, Wednesday 30th May @ 6:56pm

Out in the Cotswolds AONB, working at this Foxholes sister reserve. We are creating a pond here to increase biodiversity and provide an oasis for water-loving species, so we will be digging out the pond, and clearing the aggressive bramble that tries to strangle and smother the life out of all the other flora, and scratch all the fauna. Long sleeves recommended!
