Would you like to get involved in volunteering at Shotover?

Oxford City Council is holding two days at Mary Sadler’s Field, just off the main car park to Shotover Country Park, where you can help remove scrub on the heathland.

A team of volunteers will be doing this work to get it ready to be mown, opened up and allowing the heather to regenerate on Thursday 9 and 16 January 2014.

The work will also improve the conditions for the many species that live and thrive at the site.

Shotover Hill provides one of the few extensive examples of naturally regenerating grassland and heath in Oxfordshire.

The meeting point for the two Thursday events is the main gate, off the main car park at 9am.
