Since 2016, TVERC has partnered with the University of Oxford’s Micro-Internship Programme, providing students with valuable career experience while supporting our data management and analysis work, with six students joining us this June.

We’re excited to share the release of the TVERC Annual Report 2025/26, highlighting a landmark year in biodiversity data, community science, and environmental planning across Oxfordshire and Berkshire.

Thank you to everyone who took part in this year's City Nature Challenge!

Over the past year, TVERC’s work with the WISH Partnership has shown how inclusive, low‑pressure Noticing Nature activities can build confidence, connection and care for the environment, helping people of all ages discover that nature recovery starts with curiosity, time and attention close to home.

We’re delighted to announce the launch of our Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) Report. A powerful new resource designed to help you support nature recovery and biodiversity.

Join us for our free "Noticing Nature" events, a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural world and observe the wildlife around us.

Effective from 1st April 2026, TVERC will be implementing changes due to significant cost increases that have impacted our operational costs. These changes are necessary to ensure the continued collection, analysis, and provision of vital biodiversity data.
