Helping to preserve and enhance the Old Racecourse Common. grassland, heathland, pondland and woodland.

A volunteer-organised group working to deliver the Oswestry Racecourse Management Association (ORMA) Management & Action Plan. The Old Racecourse Common, also known as Cryn-y-Bwch (Horns of the Buck) in Cymraig/Welsh, is rich in natural diversity that can be appreciated by walkers and nature lovers alike. As the name would suggest, this common was once a horse race-course, the last race taking place here in 1848. In its elevated position, encompassing the ancient Offa's D**e (England/Wales border) footpath, and recognised as one of the most beautiful places in Britain, there are spectacular views for miles across the Shropshire and Cheshire plains to the east and the rugged peaks of Wales to the west. Oswestry Old Racecourse is an area in which everyone can enjoy quiet, informal recreation, enhanced by the extensive views across the surrounding landscape of England and Wales. Visitors have the opportunity to learn something of the cultural history of the site, and to understand something about the biological diversity of the matrix of heathland, grassland, sparse woodland, ponds and ditches that form the common. The Racecourse is important for wildlife due to its diverse range of habitats intimately linked in a relatively small area. Of particular value are the blurred boundaries between one habitat and another, i.e. It is important to retain this range of habitats that supports a wide variety of invertebrates which in turn provide food for a range of other animals including bats and newts.
