Talk: 7:30 pm at The Village Hall.
“Connecting Communities – Connecting landscapes” – Restoring habitats in the village and its environs
Come and join us at 7:30 pm on Weds 4th December at Harwell Village Hall to hear the following talk by Catriona Bass of the Nature Recovery Network, Eynsham, and Long Mead Foundation.
Catriona has been managing Long Mead Wildlife Site for 25 years. It is a 30 acre farm, with a rare ancient floodplain meadow. For the last 20 years she has been running visits for schools and for adults with learning disabilities and autism, as well as for local interest groups.
In 2018 she initiated, with Kevan Martin, the Thames Valley Wildflower Meadow Restoration Project, a farmer/landowner-led project to create a nature recovery network of floodplain meadows along the Thames above Oxford and along the Cherwell in Oxford.
In 2020 she co-initiated the Nature Recovery Network (), a bottom-up network of people for nature recovery in Eynsham and surrounding area that aims at connecting enthusiasts with experts, businesses and councillors, all living in the same local area, to enable a scaling-up of nature recovery.
She is on the Oxford Preservation Trust’s Green Spaces Committee. She writes for the local and national media, gives numerous talks and advises local communities and NGOs on meadow creation and restoration and on setting up local environmental networks.
Please reserve the date in your diary. Everyone is welcome and we hope you can make it.
