Community Meadow Restoration Day: Autumn

Oct. 18, 2026

Long Mead Barn / Community Meadows around Eynsham
Oxford Road
Swinford OX29 4BT


Description

October meet up to continue with the restoration of the 50 acres that the Nature Recovery Network have leased adjacent to the river Thames. This is land where we can all help restore the nature around us. 
 
 
Come to Long Mead for a hands on, positive restorative day together.
 
We will be continuing work to support the restoration of the community meadows - tasks could include: compost making, seed sowing, potting on rare wildflowers, seed shucking and maybe even a spot of apple pressing.
 
Please bring your own drinks and a picnic lunch. There will be cake!
 
We'll meet 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 at the start, check at Long Mead Barn for information about where we are working.

If you need to travel by car please use the Eynsham Sports Pavilion car park (1 Oxford Rd, Eynsham, Witney OX29 4HG). 


Long Mead Barn is between the Swinford Toll Bridge and the Talbot Inn (opposite the pub) recognisable by the row of rusty birds on the gate and a thatch barn in the orchard.


Neyotts and Changeable Furlongs community meadows are on the same side as the pub, walk from the Talbot across the stream and turn left into the meadows through the pedestrian gate before the toll bridge. Check location at Long Mead first!
