  • Badgers - Numbers, Gardens and Public Attitudes in Iffley Fields
    OXFORD WILDLIFE NUMBER 116 NEWS SPRING 2018 A young buck Roe Deer by Iffley Lock Photo by Anthony Cheke NEWS FROM BOUNDARY BROOK NATURE PARK The hedge around the Nature Park between us and the allotment area had grown a lot during the last year and was encroaching on the allotment site. The allotment holders understandably were not happy about this and were prepared to get a professional group to do the work. This would have been very expensive for us and nobody volunteered to help with the clearance. Very nobly Alan Hart, the Warden, made a start on this great task and made tremendous progress. Then the snow came. Alan could not even get into Oxford let alone cut the hedge! He has now done more but there is still a lot to be done if anyone feels willing to help, please contact him. His phone numbers are on the back page of this newsletter. PAST EVENTS Sadly, the January day we chose for our winter walk in University Parks to the river was literally a “wash-out”! On the day, in case the rain decided to stop, I turned up at the meeting place at the time we’d chosen but as I suspected nobody had turned out and the rain didn’t stop. Maybe we could schedule it again. It would be useful if you could let me know if you would have come if the sun had been shining. If not are there any other places in the Oxford area you’d like to explore. Please let me know if so.

  • Jens Evans Has Been Smooth and Lifted a Heavy Weight of Responsibility from Me
    OXFORD WILDLIFE NUMBER 117 NEWS SUMMER 2018 Are you a friend of Hedgehogs? See inside! 2 A Message from Janet Keene, Editor of Oxford Urban Wildlife News. Those of you who have been readers of this magazine for some time, may remember that in issue Number 114 (Summer 2017) I wrote in an editorial that, in May of that year, I was diagnosed as having had a mild stroke. The prognosis for an eventual good recovery was considered good, as long as stress was avoided. I decided upon advice that it was in my best interests to resign my post as ‘chairperson’ of the committee of OUWG as soon as possible. The transfer of ‘chairperson’ to Jens Evans has been smooth and lifted a heavy weight of responsibility from me. Jens introduces himself in the following page. At the time that I resigned the chair, I also announced to the committee that after editing the OUWG Newsletter for 100 issues (since 1992), I would be happy to pass that responsibility to a younger member of the group but would continue as editor until a new editor was found. As is so often the case with that sort of statement, I found myself remaining editor by default. However, I continued to enjoy the responsibility of providing a magazine which was focussed on Boundary Brook Nature Park but provided an umbrella organisation, drawing attention to the work of other environmental organisations throughout the city. See this issue. The JR Hospital periodically monitored the effects of my mini stroke for a year and at that point, I was released from further monitoring, although I was still not allowed to drive and the loss of full physical fitness and some short term memory problems have persisted.

  • Covid-19 Community Groups Directory
    COVID-19 COMMUNITY GROUPS DIRECTORY updated 13 August 2020 1 DM20_295 ONLINE INTRODUCTION The communities of Wiltshire have risen to the challenge of COVID-19 to make sure people are supported through this very difficult time. The council has collated all the community groups we have identified so far so that those who need support for themselves or a loved one can make direct contact. In the time available we have only been able to collate this directory and therefore this is not an endorsement of the groups listed but it is for you to decide what use you will make of the offers of support at this time. If anyone uses a community group and has concerns about the response/practice please inform us by emailing [email protected] giving the clear reasons for your concern. The council wants to ensure that everybody can access the support they need. If you make contact with a group and they cannot help or you do not get a response within the required timeframe, then please do not hesitate to contact the council by emailing [email protected] and we will ensure you get the support you need. FOOD BANKS At this difficult time, food banks are in need of more volunteers and donations. If you are able to help in any way please get in touch with your local food bank. Food banks are there to support vulnerable people in a crisis, which is usually subject to a referral from a trusted source such as a social worker.
