The Challows and Childrey Hedgerow Group now has two dates for planting a new hedge along the southern stretch of Silver Lane in West Challow.
The dates are November 26th and January 13th. We will start with coffee at West Challow Village Hall and end with cake and tea.
If you are interested in being involved please contact me:

This hedge will be the first of several which we hope to plant in our three parishes over the next few years to try and restore the local landscape to how it used to be 50 years ago and to encourage birds and other wildlife.
Hedgerows are tremendously valuable as links in the landscape connecting areas of wildlife habitat. As well as providing refuges for a great range of species they have an important role in
counteracting the effects of the climate emergency by locking up carbon dioxide in their leaves and roots. With your help we can begin to enhance the natural environment of our three parishes and we
hope you will join us.
We want to know more about the litter that community litter pickers collect so we can target the worst areas and keep them cleaner for longer. If you do litter picking then it would be great if you could help us. We have an easy-to-follow record sheet to document the location and type of litter. This will go into our litter mapping project. Or you can use our online survey while you are on the litter pick (details at the bottom of the page).
What you will need to take part
Ideally each survey should take place over a one hour period (although this can be divided up into shorter times if done in the same week)

South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse district councils have come together to work on a new Joint Local Plan which will guide the kinds of new housing and jobs needed and where they should go, informing planning application decisions for the districts.
To start, we want to hear your thoughts on the main issues facing our districts and how we could use the Joint Local Plan to address them.
