What we do...

We have a full and varied programme with activities throughout the year. These typically include:

• Meetings, with speakers on diverse environmental and natural history subjects, providing a forum for education and discussion
• Visits to nature reserves, local farms and other sites of interest
• Walks in the area highlighting features of the local environment and landscape as well as the flora and fauna
• Training members in practical conservation and survey work
• Practical conservation and survey work in the parish
• Offering informal advice on wildlife matters
• Publicising our activities and informing our members through regular newsletters and this website

The Group runs regular practical conservation sessions, looking after the Watlington Chalk Pits Local Nature Reserve, Watlington Hill and other local sites.

In 2013 we began a project to study the interesting and complex watercourses of the parish. This has developed into a substantial project with monitoring, surveying, historic study and, working with various partners, practical work to improve the water quality of the local brooks.
