In February 2025, Oxford Nature Conversations brought together 15 residents to collaboratively envision a future where both people and nature can thrive in Oxford. Over the course of four deliberative workshop days, participants engaged in structured discussions, expert presentations, and collaborative exercises to explore environmental challenges and opportunities in the city.
This inclusive process resulted in a shared vision and a set of actionable recommendations reflecting the community’s collective knowledge and priorities.
