Good morning, Oxford.
🏘️ Community
The City of Oxford delivered an ambulance to Dubno, Ukraine after months of fundraising and repair work.
Mayor Snavely said the community raised over $5,000 and used extra funds for medical supplies — marking a milestone in the sister city partnership.
🌲 Environment
Katie McNeil uses her botany background to create native pollinator gardens that attract butterflies, bees and moths in Oxford.
She tends over 20 gardens at White Garden Inn — a registered Monarch WayStation that supports butterfly migration while local experts advise leaving winter leaves to help pollinators nest.
Hueston Woods in Oxford covers nearly 3,000 acres and offers a nature center open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.—where visitors view live animals like red-tailed hawks, snakes, and turtles along with fossils and interactive displays.
The park also partners with local groups to engage students and the public in programs such as bird banding and a raptor handling session, and a free event called Hometown Holi-Days will take place on Dec. 13.
