Venue: Iffley Island.

OCV will lead this weekend task and they welcome any extra pairs of hands.

Iffley Island, a mixed rush and reed meadow habitat on the east bank of the Thames just downstream from Aston's Eyot. OCV have been cutting and raking this SSSI on an annual basis for over a decade. They will mow the meadow with scythes and haul the cuttings off on tarps and in drag bags. 

Meet at 10am: The access to the field is off Meadow Lane, through The Kidney nature reserve.

Buses: Regular buses stop on Iffley Road and Donnington Bridge Road and it's a short walk from there.

Parking: Free parking nearby but check as it is time limited.

Please bring your own gardening gloves, hydrating drink (hot & cold), a snack and sturdy shoes/boots/wellies, suitable weather-related layers.

No experience necessary. Tools will be provided. Nearest toilets are at local pubs.
