THE Wild Oxford conservation team will return to Chilswell Valley nature reserve on Monday for a work party.

Working from 10am to 3pm the group will be carrying on the coppicing they started last time and creating some 'dead hedging'.

Anyone with an interest in conservation is welcome to join the session next to Hinksey Heights Golf Club.

Volunteers should bring lunch, gardening gloves, warm clothes and sturdy boots.

Wild Oxford project officer Andy Gunn has, as ever, promised to bring tools, equipment, biscuits and hot drinks.
