The Glebe Field

The Parish Council has a 100 year lease for the Glebe Field from the Diocese of Oxford.  To be able to manage the land appropriately it commissioned Future Nature WTC to carry out an Ecological Survey and Habitat Management Plan, copies of which are below.  These surveys were fully funded by grant money provided by Wendover Community Board. 

The first proposal was for a community orchard, however after consultation this does not seem fit for the location.  The Council will endeavour to find a new location for an orchard.  

At the Parish Council meeting in July 2023, Cllr Cook put forward a proposal that the land may be suitable to be registered as a local nature reserve (LNR) through Natural England, which the Council agreed to.  The Council is working with a conservation organisation to ensure that the land is managed in a sympathetic manner. 

Wildlife Cameras

In October 2025, the Parish Council installed two wildlife cameras in the Glebe field.  Below are the first photos retrieved from the camera, click to scroll through the images.

Improvements to the Right of Way - October 2023

Works took place early October to widen the right of way across the field in order to make the path more accessible. Dead blackthorn has been cut back to allow more light to the path and allow people to walk through comfortably.

Cllr Cook was joined by Chiltern Rangers and volunteers from the village, our thanks go to all those who gave up their time to help out.
