Where to get support for your community nature project?

More than 100 groups across Oxfordshire are involved in nature’s recovery, and as a district council, we offer funding and guidance to help groups and town and parish councils look after their local green spaces.

We also work in partnership to encourage tree planting, meadow creation, habitat restoration and other biodiversity projects on council-owned land and across the district.
