This important piece of land between Jarn Mound and Matthew Arnold Field was bequeathed to OPT in 1941.  Jarn Heath was once an open field and was used as allotments during WW2. Nowadays, the area is a woodland with some veteran-pollarded oak trees scattered throughout.  In the last five years, thanks to Rod and Abingdon Green Gym, we have re-opened views, cleared paths and installed bird and bat boxes.

Venue: Jarn Heath, Jarn Way, Boars Hill, OX1 5JD. 

Abingdon Green Gym will lead this weekend task and they welcome any extra pairs of hands.

Activities will include keeping paths and access points open and clearing areas of encroaching brambles.

Meet at 9am: AGG meet on Jarn Way, near the junction with Orchard Lane link.
