We saw a brilliant amount of pupils come along to our Eco Talk this term, with special guest Lisa Lane from BBOWT (Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust). Lisa spoke informatively all about the work BBOWT have been doing at Chimney Meadows reserve, including recreating the arable land into a wetland wild meadow and initiatives to enhance accessibility for fish at Duxford and ford and Shifford weir. Lisa’s talk included so many fascinating pictures of the progress made over the course of the project and highlighted to pupils the numerous features that are considered when planning such a project. Pupils of Phoenix House have have chosen BBOWT as their House Charity this year and it was a super opportunity for them to see how their fundraising was used to support our local area.
