Introducing Benson Area Nature Group

​

Benson Area Nature Group has a big mission - to help restore nature across our area.  We want our villages to be permeable to wildlife, making chance encounters with nature an everyday delight.

​

What we do:

​

• We aim to expand and look after our green network, both public and the "green in between". We help people get involved and benefit from experiencing nature.

• We run events and projects, connecting people with nature around them and inspiring others to act.

• We promote community / citizen science, keeping track of what's in our patch and helping others to play their part.

​

Our priority projects:

​

• Our rivers and streams

• Our green network

• Our farmland and wetland birds

​

Our group covers four parishes: Benson, Berrick & Roke, Ewelme and Warborough & Shillingford. We work with partners and our communities to achieve our ambitions. We work closely with our sister organisation, Benson Community Green Space Trust, with whom we share common objectives to maximise the value of green spaces to our community.

​

We encourage and facilitate:

​

• Citizen science and community recording of wildlife (see "Citizen Science").

• Volunteering (see "Get Involved").
