It’s midsummers day on Saturday. Eynsham’s ancient meadow. Long Mead is looking its most beautiful! And the new lands along the Thames that we have leased for community restoration are already looking lovely after only a year!

Come and see them, do a bit of potting on of the rare plants that we will plant out into the new meadows in the autumn. Learn about the wonders of the ancient meadows with a guided walk, picnic together amongst their wildflowers and wildlife and learn how to survey for butterflies and moths, if that is your fancy!

1.00pm to 2.00pm: Picnic in Long Mead meadow

2.00pm to 2.45pm: guided walk through Long Mead’s ancient meadow
