In September 2024, I produced a report (attached) espousing the botanical interest of the Glebe land , which was sent on by John Sampson to the Trust for Oxfordshire’s Environment, who awarded a grant to develop a long-term management plan for the site. The management plan was a collaborative effort between John, Imogen Parker of Wild Oxfordshire, and many others.
The plan places emphasis on using the site to increase the engagement of the community with local ecology and the environment, and as such, I’d like to hold some (free) botanical training sessions on the Glebe land and the Common over the summer – no previous experience necessary!
If this is something you would be interested in, send me a quick email at joe.graingerhull@gmail.com, and I will get back in touch with further details about the sessions.
