The Berkshire, Buckinghamshire & Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) has been awarded £512,182 to restore nature across the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire landscape, in partnership with 11 organisations.

BBOWT, as lead partner, has received initial support* from The National Lottery Heritage Fund for the Reconnecting Bernwood, Otmoor and the Ray (RBOR) project. Made possible by National Lottery players, the project aims to enable long-term landscape and species recovery in the BOR region for the benefit of nature, heritage and people.

The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world, with one in six British species at risk of extinction according to the State of Nature 2023 report. The region connecting Bernwood, Otmoor and the River Ray across Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire has immense potential for nature recovery, but the landscape is under intense pressure from inappropriate development, historic intensive agricultural practices and climate change.
