Learning about research taking place at Wytham Woods with the indomitable Curt Lamberth

In late July, 2021, Twelve 15 - 17 year olds spent three busy days camping in Wytham Woods. They talked to Oxford scientists about our nature and climate challenges and the ideas that people have to address them, and learned about some of the challenges that the wildlife at Wytham is dealing with as the climate changes. In the evenings they went badger watching with one of the badger researchers, finding mats with one of the bat researchers, and came back to BBQ, campfires, marshmallows, and nights in our huge Berghaus Air 8 tents.

This annual summer school is normally held at the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford, but because of Covid, Wytham was the safer option for 2021. It was so successful, that rather than moving back into the City in 2022 we will run this again at Wytham Woods.
