OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Oxford Preservation Trust has stewardship of almost 1000 acres of green space in and around the city of Oxford. They were acquired – some nearly a century ago – to protect the city’s green setting and historic views by preventing development. Over a period of time, certain questions around green spaces and their sustainable management have changed, reflecting the concerns of the day. The pandemic brought a need for and appreciation of green spaces into sharp focus, as has climate change and changing public perceptions. This talk will consider some of these different priorities and a balance of approaches for managing green spaces today.
