Boundary Brook Nature Park was created in 1990 when a group of community wildlife enthusiasts rescued a plot of disused allotments to carve out a wild space in the heart of East Oxford. 30 years on the space is thriving, with mixed woodland, meadow, a nature pond and butterfly glade.

**Oxford Urban Wildlife Group have asked for our help to build new paths around the nature park. This is a very satisfying task which we helped with here a few years ago. It'll be great to extend the network of accessible paths around the site.

Please bring your own gardening gloves. All other tools will be provided.

Meeting options:
* Anyone wishing to run or walk to the task as a group please meet in the car park of the Richard Benson Hall, 276b Cowley Rd at 6pm. It's less than a mile to Boundary Brook Nature Park but we can take a longer route if people are keen.
* If you would prefer to meet at the task please meet us outside Larkrise Primary on Boundary Brook Road at 6:15pm.

This is a GoodGym group run, where we run to help a local community organisation and then run back.

Walkable

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.

Options are available to run between 2km and 5km in total

Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.

Ideal for beginners
