Charity no.: 1084259
In 1086, the Royal Hunting Forest of Wychwood covered much of what is now
West Oxfordshire. The Wychwood Project was established to raise the awareness
of, and appreciation for, the history and identity of the area and to work with
local communities to restore the rich patchwork of landscapes and habitats
within the former Forest boundaries. By presenting people with the challenge or opportunity to affect their environment in a very positive way, we aim to give them a sense of local identity and strengthen their attachment to, and pride in their local heritage.
The Wychwood Project is a registered charity supported by the Friends of Wychwood.
