Nature Recovery Network is five years young! Discover and celebrate your local Nature Recovery Network down in the community meadows by Swinford Lock on Saturday 21st June.
The meadows will be starting to flourish and Long Mead, Eynsham's ancient meadow will be at its most beautiful at this time of year.
Bring a picnic and join us in an insect hunt, talk to our local scientists, take a taster bird survey, study the art of botanical drawing or take a guided walk through the glorious beauty of Long Mead's ancient wildflower meadow.
There'll also be live music, a pop up from Eynsham's Country Market, and children's activities, including wildflower face painting with Devil's bit scabious, Great burnet, Crested dog's tail (some of the rare plants that our face-painters are busy preparing for the day).
These are some of the delights that we are planning for the day, as well as a winners' exhibition of our photographic competition – there is still time to enter for a place in the show!
