SUMMARY:Hedge Laying Workshop - Day Two
LOCATION:Swinford Meadows
DESCRIPTION:A properly laid and managed hedge can provide vital shelter and food for insects, birds, small mammals and reptiles, as well as protection for crops and pollinators. They have a significant, lasting impact on local biodiversity, acting as wildlife corridors and providing many benefits for our natural environment.\n\nHowever to foster this valuable habitat we need more of it, and locally based people to look after and champion it! \n\nCome 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.\n \nOCV 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. \n\nSaturday 21st Feb - Join OCV's hedge-laying training workshop & practical - 10am - 3pm. Please REGISTER.\nSunday 22nd Feb - Hedge Laying Day at Swinford Meadow - all welcome - 10am - 3pm Please REGISTER \n\nNo previous experience is needed to attend this training but past participants of Nature Recovery Networks hedge-laying workshops are particularly encouraged to join in as, in line with our mission, we are wanting to build, over time, our own local expert hedge-laying team. \n
