Photo Album

The album galleries hold a selection of pictures of work sessions and events in the “Chippy” Green Gym year. If you have any difficulties in browsing the  galleries, there are a few NextGen Gallery viewing tips below.

As an addition to the galleries,  here are links to pdf versions of our past and current slide show advertisements  screened in the waiting area at Chipping Norton Health Centre:    2017   2018   2019.    Due to file size limits on this website, image quality is lower than in the originals.

Community Orchard - Chipping Norton

Established in 2010, this is truly a community project. Townspeople are encouraged to visit the orchard and pick its fruit. Green Gym maintains it on behalf of the Orchard Management Committee.

Fitzalan Wood Chipping Norton

An area of ancient common land once overgrown with brambles and invasive weeds is being transformed into native broadleaf woodland, named to commemorate Richard Fitzalan, Earl of Arundel, who gave much land to the town in the 14th century.

Chipping Norton Health Centre

Our work on garden borders here aims to provide an attractive welcome to patients and staff, and to bees and butterflies in search of food. To promote healthy eating we have planted culinary herbs and built low-maintenance raised beds designed for fruit and vegetables.

St Mary's Churchyard Chipping Norton

Pictures related to our work in and around the churchyard, where there is always plenty of ivy to keep under control.

Common & Pool Meadow - Chipping Norton

An area popular with dog walkers and adventurous children, where we keep the footpaths clear and remove debris from the Common Brook.

Glyme Valley Nature Reserve

Here, we collaborate with BBOWT, the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust by controlling invasive blackthorn and opening up new areas to promote biodiversity and conserve the limestone pasture and its flora and fauna, especially butterflies.

Kingham Millennium Wood

Here we keep footpaths clear, help control undergrowth, and remove or thin some of the diseased or overcrowded saplings.

Other work sites

This gallery illustrates some of the varied conservation work we do in Chipping Norton and the surrounding area.

Green Gym events and courses

From hurdle making to Christmas pud.

Miscellany

Just what it says. Green Gym caught on camera.
