Nature Recovery Network is five years old! Come and celebrate with your picnics and friends in our community meadows by Swinford Lock on Midsummers Day.

The community meadows will be starting to flourish and Long Mead, Eynsham's ancient meadow will be at its most beautiful at this time of year

We'll be making wildflower crowns, painting faces with Devil's bit scabious, Great burnet, Crested dog's tail (some of the rare plants that our face-painters are busy preparing for the day).

Join the Beavers in an insect hunt, talk to our local scientists, take a taster bird survey, study the art of botanical drawing or take a guided walk through the glorious beauty of Long Mead's ancient wildflower meadow.

These are some of the delights that we are planning for the day, as well as a winners' exhibition of our photographic competition – there is still time to enter for a place in the show!
