WYCHWOOD FOREST TRUST LTD
TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED){INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Achievements and perforniance
During the year the Charity continued to forge ahead wtth a broad range of activities, guided by the key themes
of our current strategic Plan. Our charitable activities are designed to have cross-cutting effects with these
themes to maximise the impact of our resources and some key activities are outlined here.
Conservation and Restoration
WFT has continued to maintain freehold ownership of the nature reserves at Foxburrow Wood, Grimes Meadow,
Singe Wood and Gibbets Close Hill. We were notified of a forthcoming freehold legacy of a small woodland,
Quicken Copse, which we have accepted in principle. We also continued our management or lease agreements
for Wgwell and Dean Common. Management of these reserves to maintain and enhance their value for people
and wldlife was the focus of our site-based conservation activity during the year.
Work continued on the restoration of Gibbets Hill site on the outskirts of V¥ltney. Although essentially a minimal
intervention 'wlding' approach, last year the decision was taken to disrupt the historic agricultural drainage of the
land that conveys rainwater away from the hill. In partnership wth Freshwater Habitats Trust we created nine
large but shallow wetlands by uncovering and blocking parts of the old field drain system. The resulting features
have been in place for almost a year and have Suc￿sfUllY rewetted parts of the land and have already been
used by spawning amphibians.
At Wgwell nature reserve in Charlbury we continued to V￿rk Y￿th the Friends of Wigwell volunteer group and a
der group of stakeholders to further implement plans for creating a wilder and more diverse habitat mosaic
across the reserve, whilst continuing to maintain the existing valuable ecological features such as the limestone
grassland Local Wildlife Site. Important scrub species such as blackthorn, hawthom and dog rose have been
allowed to encroach from hedgerows and field margins, and collectively are now providing a significant nectar
source when in flower. The abundance of patchy regenerating scrub is also of great value as the food plants of
several rare butteffly species in the locality. After last year's first ever record of the black hairstreak, a blacklhom
specialist known from only a few dozen sites in central England, a second specimen was photographed this year.
Beyond our own nature reserves, we have worked on or given conservation advice to many individuals or
organisations, including community woodland groups. private estates and parish councils.
We have also prioritised partnership working to achieve mutual benefit, and thanks to our many collaborators for
helping us achieve our charitable objectives over the past year.
Learning & Volunteering
Most of our focus this year was on continuing to create an outdoor learning area at Foxburrow Wood. With
generous grant support from FCC Communities Foundation, we have been constructing shelters, composting
toilets, and rustic furniture. The project wll be completed next year but already the space has been used
positively by local Guide, Scout, and outdoor education groups.
Throughout the year we have used our conservation volunteers across all of our own sites, and have run work
parties at Carterton Country Park in collaboration wth West Oxfordshire District Council. We held our usual
program of rural skills courses. natural history training, guided walks and public talks, and also held our inaugural
WFT hedge laying competition at Foxburrow Wood which was a su¢¢ess that we wll repeat.

WYCHWOOD FOREST TRUST LTD
TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED){INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Partnership and Participation
Our much respected hedge laying group continued to work on our own and partners. hedges during the autumn
and winter season. They also continued a long-running project to lay more than 1 km of young hedge along
Jubilee Way in Witney to the north of Gibbets Hill, undertaken in partnership y￿th the land and hedge owner West
Oxfordshire Distrid Council. The project is now into its fourth season.
The dry stone walling group members, skills are still very much in demand. not least by ourselves this year.
Having built a magnificent new entrance wall to Foxburrow Wood, the team began work on a smaller construction
within the site's developing education area this year. Dry stone walls are a proud heritage feature of the
Wychwood area and the wider Cotswolds in their own right. but they also provide important habitats for a wide
range of plants and animals. The walls built as part of Foxburrow Wixjd's restoration will last for Centuries.
The expert flora group continued to monitor seven rare species across more than 20 different sites. The
Wychwood remains a last stronghold in our region for a number of species that have become very rare in the
modern landscape, such as meadow clary, red hemp-nettle, and yellow star-of-Bethlehem. The group monitor
trends in these special rarities over the years.
Financial ￿VIeW
It is the policy of the Charity that unrestricted fvnds which have not been designated for a specific use should be
maintained at a level equivalent to meet at least six months. expenditure. The Trustees consider that resetves at
this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the Charity's
current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of
reseNes has been maintained throughout the year.
The Charity has a reserves policy that also encompasses contingency funds against losses in institutional
funding and a development fund for investment in new projects.
The Trustees identify and periodically review the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and ensure that
systems are in place to mitigate these risks. These risks indude financial, environmental, compliance and
operational areas. In order that the risks to which we are exposed are minimised we ensure that we have
adequate insurance in place, maintain and monitor our reserves policy, monitor our financial activities against an
approved budget and strategic plan, seek to widen the range of fund-raising activits'es, pay particular attention to
publicity and keeping our members informed about our activities, ensure a dose working relationship be￿een
the Trustees and the Wchwood Forest Trust partners and understand and Comply with company and charity law
and regulation.

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constwctive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a
third paty, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits wll be required in settlement, and the amount of
the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and
shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single
activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and
support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned be￿een those activities on a basis
consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and
depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.

proceeds and the carrying value of the asset. and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carying amounts of its tangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to detemiine the extent of the impaiment
loss (if any).
1.8 Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to Complete and sell. Cost
comprises direct materials and. where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been
incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or

incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown

value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable
within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of
operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one
year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at
transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
