In Oxfordshire there are over 80 groups with over 1,000 volunteers that are actively working to conserve wildlife in their local 'patch'. These are run by local residents generally with the support of the parish council. Some may be restoring ponds, while others are planting trees and hedgerows or managing their churchyard for wildlife. The work of each local group is vial to provide a mosaic of essential habitats across the county.

If you have time to help out on your local patch, if only for a couple of hours now and the you will be made welcome. To find your nearest group click below on your district council and download a list of conservation groups in your area.

During 2006-2008 Cynth will be focussing some of her work in 5 of these areas.

You can download a Parish Conservation Plan Pack. The aim of the pack is to give communities, that have limited wildlife and conservation knowledge, a step-by-step approach to recording the species and habitats in their parish. Click here to download the Pack, it shouldn't take too long to print. If you have any comments or suggestions on the pack please email clare@oncf.org.uk we plan to update it on a quarterly basis. If you would like to do more detailed survey work then please contact Gavin Bird at TVERC gavin.bird@oxfordshire.gov.uk
