NRN's Hedge in Time Project began in 2020 in the Witney Road playground during Covid, since then NRN members have planted nearly two kilometres of hedgerow in 8 schools and villages in and around Eynsham. The idea, inspired by Freeland farmer Robert Crocker, is to connect up our villages, rivers and meadows by hedgerow
 
With the 600 metres that we all planted last year now flourishing (the picture shows it in June), we are planning to plant nearly one kilometre this year, on the 60 acres of land that we have leased for us all to restore adjacent to the River Thames.
 
We will be in the Neyotts Meadow (which runs from Oxford Road to Eynsham Lock) and in the two Changeable Furlongs fields beyond. We will leave from Long Mead at 10.00am. It is always helpful if you can arrive at the beginning so that we can brief everyone together. But if you can’t make it then, we’d love to see you anyway.
 
Please bring a thermos and a picnic lunch, spades, secateurs and gloves if you have them. We can provide them if you don't.
