Volunteers are helping to revitalise an area in Wallingford by clearing scrub and rubbish to protect wildflowers.
The volunteers were joined by Earth Trust's rangers, a charity based in Little Wittenham which works to protect the environment, at Wallingford Riverside Meadows.
This month, the team has focused on managing blackthorn scrub and brash along the river bank to create and conserve a low, scrubby, riparian habitat thus reducing shading and encroachments on the grassland.
This work aims to create the optimal conditions for wildflowers to thrive.
A litter sweep also took place in order to prepare for spring grass growth, ensuring meadows are without rubbish which is potentially dangerous to animals and are ready for when the terrain is cut for hay in upcoming months.
