FOWM volunteers regularly meet to assist with sapling clearance on the Meadow. Managed in cooperation with the Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, this vital conservation measure maintains biodiversity and ensures wildflowers and grasses have enough sunlight, space, and nutrients to thrive.
We are next gathering Sundays 11th & 18th October at 10.30am. All assistance is welcome and appreciated. We will meet at the Hill Top Road entrance to the Meadow. Bring gardening gloves and any strong digging spade or fork - we will have mattocks and forks available.
SAPLING CLEARANCE
🍏 APPLE DAY - Sunday 13th September 2026
Warneford Meadow Apple Day is an annual autumn community festival held in the orchard on the east side of the meadow. It’s organised in collaboration with the FOWM and local groups including the Divinity Road Area Residents' Association (DRARA) and Oxford Health NHS Trust. It is free and family-friendly. Come and press the apples and take away fresh, unpasteurised apple juice. All you need to bring is containers.
This year met earlier than usual and Apple Day took place on Sunday 13th September.
