Exciting news!!! We've won a grant that will enable us to appoint a #PeopleandNature #Volunteer Coordinator to work across our four parishes. So we'll be recruiting! Big thanks to @OxfordshireCF for supporting us. #ThrivinginNature 💚1/2

One of our fave #trees in our patch. All the more valuable as it sits in one of our most used public #greenspaces - it’s on the @ThamesPathNT and gives the people of #Benson direct access to the river.
Favourite willow on the #ThamesPath at Benson in the evening sunlight recently. Pollarding willows makes the trunks grow thicker, perfect for #thicktrunktuesday 😊 @TiCLme @BensonNature

What a turnout for our #bat walk this evening! TY Anna Dudley, @12beesbuzzing @ValSiddiqui @EdelMcGurk and lots of others for making it a success. We heard Noctule, Soprano & Common Pipistrelles, and we learned lots from Anna. 💚 Next time it’s #Hedgehogs

Spending time in nature is great for your physical and mental health 💚 But with people leading such busy lives, it’s not something we all take time to do. Today, for #30DaysWild, have a go at forest bathing and immerse yourself in nature by following our guide below. 🌳
