Did you know that our parish contains Important Freshwater Areas (IFAs) of the River Thame catchment, either wholly or partially? IFAs are locations of regional or national importance for freshwater biodiversity where protection, restoration and expansion should be prioritised to stem the decline in freshwater biodiversity. Here the analysis focused on a river catchment level and the IFAs identified are of local or catchment importance. This is only the second river catchment in the UK to have an IFA analysis done, so it’s quite pioneering.
This report was commissioned to underpin conservation action in the catchment and you can find more information and download this report from our website.
