2015-2016 Our Year in Review

Four reserves
were transferred

to BBOWT’s
management by
Buckinghamshire
County Council

Yoesden nature reserve increased in size by almost a third thanks to generous donations

from our supporters and Biffa Award. We purchased three parcels of land: woodland and grassland
areas, and a prime site for the restoration of chalk grassland flowers and grasses using seed from the
original nature reserve. Yoesden is vital link in a network of wildlife sites through the Chilterns.

305 days of work were

carried out by our Bernwood
Forest project volunteers.

Thanks to support from SITA

Trust and the Ryklow Charitable
Trust we managed grassland at
Iffley Meadows for wild flowers.

Meadow Farm nature reserve in the Upper River Ray

Living Landscape area was extended by the purchase, through
WREN funding, of Lower Cow Leys. These 8.9 hectares will be
restored to wildlife havens by the transfer of seed-rich green hay
from other meadows on the farm.
