Hedge-laying Workshop - Day Two

Part Two of our Hedge Laying workshop weekend where we'll be getting practical!
 
Come and learn how to lay a hedge with the Oxford Conversation Volunteers (OCV) as part of our Hedge in Time Project, an initiative inspired by local Farmer Robert Crocker that aims, over time, to connect up our villages with a network of hedgerow wildlife corridors.
 
OCV will be helping us to lay the hedges in Swinford Meadows across the river from Long Mead Wildlife Site. Oxford Preservation Trust has kindly leased Swinford Meadows to Long Mead Foundation and Nature Recovery Network for us to restore for our local wildlife. 
 
  • Saturday 21st Feb - Join OCV's hedge-laying training workshop & practical - 10am - 3pm. Please REGISTER.
  • Sunday 22nd Feb - Hedge Laying Day at Swinford Meadow - all welcome - 10am - 3pm
 
Past participants of our hedge-laying workshops are particularly encouraged to join in as, in line with our NRN mission, we are wanting to build, over time, our own local expert hedge-laying team. 
 
No experience needed.
