NRN were pleased to participate again in this year's Apple Day in Eynsham, which proved to be as inspiring as ever, with apple pressing, willow weaving, woodland crafts, delicious vegan cooking and plenty of homebaked cakes!

A range of varieties of apple for ID and tasting

We talked to many people from Eynsham and further afield about our network, the Thames Valley Wildflower Restoration Project and our wet woodland. Crabapple seeds were available to be sown as part of this project.

Many children got stuck in helping us plant locally collected crabapple seeds for our new tree nursery.
