Wychwood Forest Trust have produced a really valuable illustrative map which ‘tells the story’ of society and land use across the ‘greater Wychwood Forest’ area and its implications for ecology and social planning today (see link below):

It would be very helpful to produce analogous maps and interpretive displays for individual parishes, both within and without this ‘greater Wychwood Forest’ area. All steps of planning such displays would be beyond the capabilities and resources of most parish councils, but if WODC funded a ‘central capability’ for producing such resources, then individual parishes could make use of such a capability (perhaps using an accessible small grant award scheme) so that they could produce their own resources using fairly standardised methods.

(CAG Oxfordshire has no funding or formal relationship with Wychwood Forest Trust, but is an admirer of their work). Wychwood Forest Trust have not [yet] been consulted regarding this idea).
