The Countryside Service is committed to safeguarding, maintaining and enhancing the quality of Oxfordshire's countryside and to improving the enjoyment and understanding of the natural environment through management of public access and information.

The trust creates and manages nature reserves, many of which are open to the public.

The Campaign For Rural England works locally and nationally to stand up for the countryside: to protect it from the threats it faces, and to shape its future for the better.

The society tries to protect birds from threats such as climate change, agricultural intensification, expansion of urban areas and transport infrastructure and over-exploitation of the seas.

The Canal & River trust is a charity that cares for the 2,200-mile network of canals and rivers in England and Wales. Their role is to ensure that the waterways can be used for all to enjoy, now and for many years to come.

The Trust works to preserve and protect the buildings, countryside and coastline of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, in a range of ways, through practical conservation, learning and discovery, and encouraging everyone to visit and enjoy their national heritage.

The Association aims to reach out and enhance the lives of all young people. They operate a network of more than 200 Youth Hostels, bunkhouses and camping barns across England and Wales. They are also part of an international network of Youth Hostels in 60 countries around the world.
