So this greenham common office could become a habit!

[Julian Cooper @vickytryfan]

Not a bad day to explore one of the new sites I take on as of Monday. Snelsmore common looking rather stunning in a bit of autumn sun

[Julian Cooper @vickytryfan]

@cllrsusanbrown Thanks Susan and thanks for the support over the years

[Julian Cooper @vickytryfan]

Very mixed emotions. Handed in my notice last week which will mean saying goodbye to my team. A team that’s been hugely supportive of me the sites and community we serve. If people remember all that really matters is the work we do and the people that do it, and we do it for!

[Julian Cooper @vickytryfan]

@friendlyevalley You are the part that makes the job easy and hugely rewarding

[Julian Cooper @vickytryfan]

@rail_guns Grandpont next

[Julian Cooper @vickytryfan]

@rail_guns Very good and not as controversial as the dog one

[Julian Cooper @vickytryfan]

@LabLinda75 Thanks Linda you’ve been a huge support and show the difference a councillor can make to the community

[Julian Cooper @vickytryfan]

@rail_guns Don’t think the cake made it past my team!!
Cheers for the support and keep up the good work

[Julian Cooper @vickytryfan]

@redmikerowley Cheers Mike

Great to have the sheriff and chair of the freeman out for the roundup up this morning. Really important to meet the graziers who play a vital role in conserving Port Meadow. Ground was just a tad damp!!!

[Julian Cooper @vickytryfan]

A rather damp but successful roundup for TB testing. Glad to say all clear

[Julian Cooper @vickytryfan]

An apt song tonight. Love to any of those who live in fear because of thugs and hatred https://t.co/H7ZehsPFEY

Nature recovers the land best. No Planting. No seeds. But species rich grassland interspersed by trees here in former arable (18 yrs), Norfolk. Nothing special about situation. We need to trust natural processes more than we currently do @woodlandbirder @TonyJuniper

[Julian Cooper @vickytryfan]

The term greenbelt is not about conservation or biodiversity! The below is a former brownfield site, packed with more biodiversity than the equivalent size of greenbelt. Stop the stupid labels and protect and enhance biodiversity where you find it!!

[Julian Cooper @vickytryfan]

Looking rather splendid. But I would say that. Very simple recipe.knowledge, if you can’t find any on your shelf try @judyweb32049878, a good handful of passion and a sprinkle of tractor and scythe. Consistent management for a minimum of 12 years and hay presto!!!

[Julian Cooper @vickytryfan]

I see a lot of negative social media and press about grass in the city. I think we can do better around some of the city. That said as far as grassland managed for conservation all the volunteers, ⁦@OxfordCity⁩ and ⁦@ODS_doinggood⁩ do a bloody good job!
