Save the Hurst! - fundraiser

The Hurst is a small island of ancient woodland behind Cumnor Hill.

Part owned by All Souls College, it is leased to Cumnor Parish Council and managed by volunteers.

Seems like All Souls is reluctant to extend the lease for the grounds, preffering to sell it instead. This potentially threatens public access and the woodland itself!

The local community has come together to purchase the Hurst and place it in a trust to preserve it. However, it requires a sizeable amount of money so there is a fundraising campaign going on. One generous benefactor is pledging to match every pound raised up to £25 000!

If you would like to get involved to preserve the ancient woodland, please consider volunteering for fund raising events or donating! More info is available on the cumnor parish council website.

Please spread the word and help preserve our woodland!
