Showcase your snapping skills with our Celebrate Nature photography competition!

 

To mark five years of the Nature Recovery Network, we're calling out for nature themed entries focusing on celebrating our local environment, the intrinsic value of our natural world and what it brings us. From the smallest of flowers in our back gardens and green havens, to creatures and natural networks in the wild, we're looking forward to receiving your submissions! 

There will be three age categories, with one winner plus one runner up in each category:

  • 11 years old and under - £30 prize
  • 12-17 years old - £50 prize
  • Adults 18+ - £100 prize

No need for an SLR camera, images may be shot on a smartphone, but need to be submitted as at min 5mb - max 10mb 300ppi.

This is the next in our series of regular meetings to start restoring the 50 acres that we have leased adjacent to the river Thames.
 
 
This is community land where we can all help restore the nature around us. We will be continuing the preparation of the meadows by potting on the plants sown over the last year by members of NRN's wednesday plant propagation group, as well as by all of us who have joined the weekend NRN days.
 
We will also be podding and sowing wildflower seeds collected from Long Mead before it was cut for hay.
 
We will be based at Long Mead but may do some planting out of wetland and hedgerow species..
 
Please bring thermoses and a picnic lunch. 
 
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.

Training

We're very lucky to have one of Oxfordshire's leading botanists, Camilla Lambrick of the Ashmolean Natural History Society of Oxfordshire (ANHSO), join our network to train or refresh volunteers in botanical surveying.

Attending a survey group is an excellent way of honing your plant identification skills. So, if you already have some plant ID skills, and/or are keen to learn, please join the survey team.

Help us record some of the rarer plants around Eynsham that are likely to be threatened by development in the near future.

Based on our NRN principles of building up, over time, a cadre of local people to know and protect the land around us, our experts will help us to identify and record the plants that we don’t know yet. 

This is the second of five workshops, in and around Eynsham.

Please wear appropriate clothes and footwear for the field session. You may wish to bring a notebook and pencil.

Those of you who are not already members of NRN, we'd love you to join (£10 per year) in order to enjoy this workshop and many others for free.

If you'd rather not join just yet, we ask you to pay £15 for this workshop. This is partly because, although we all give our services for free, NRN has significant costs to do what it is doing for our local nature. These workshops are usually oversubscribed and we have found that occasionally people sign up and then don't turn up, depriving someone else of the opportunity.

Please click here and give our local wildlife a present by becoming an NRN member! Not only will you be supporting compost/tool purchase etc. but you will get free access to all our survey workshops and discounted or no rates for workshops that we charge for.

We look forward to sharing some time with you in the Great Outdoors!
