Bernwood Forest and Ray Valley Living Landscape
This large area between Oxford, Bicester and Aylesbury covers 48,400 hectares of woodland, mixed farmland and floodplain meadows across the boundary between Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Since 1981 BBOWT has been buying and restoring floodplain meadows in the upper reaches of the River Ray, and working with neighbouring farmers to create a stronghold for wading birds including curlew.
