In this, the first of two webinars, Eynsham's Nature Recovery Network is hosted by Stanton Harcourt Parish Council and funded by Natural England to look at ways in which our local Parish Councils can embrace these new responsibilities and tap into the expertise and enthusiasm that is in the local community.
