Tony Marshall outlined the work of Prestwood Nature in conservation of area around Prestwood. He also gave detailed plans for the area around Boug's Meadow in Great Missenden - adjacent to the Car Park by the river Misbourne. They aim to re-establish a hay's meadow with hay from Hughendon Manor and attract wild life back to it. It will become an attractive place for leisure - walks and picnics. They will involve local schools and scouts in the three-year plan.[8 May 2006]
