New Boardwalk under construction
Located in the Hinksey Heights nature reserve on the west side of Oxford, a new 30m boardwalk has been put in place to make the popular Hinksey Trail more accessible.
Just in time for the muddy winter conditions, we’re delighted that a grant from our Local Environment Fund has funded a new 30m stretch of boardwalk by the Lower Lake. The original wooden boardwalk had weathered and started to sink over time which created accessibility and safety issues for its users. Now, thanks to the hard work of 12 volunteers, the new boardwalk has been constructed, made from recycled plastic so it can be safely enjoyed for many years. In total, this project cost £11,600 and the TOE grant of £8,800 was matched by a grant of £2,800 from Vale of White Horse District Council.
