🏆 CUPPERS CHAMPIONS 🏆

A huge congratulations to Trinity Women, who defeated Brasenose 23–20 in the Netball Cuppers Final at Magdalen College School to bring home the title.

The victory marks a fantastic achievement for the squad and a fitting reward for all their hard work throughout the competition.

Well done to everyone involved, and thank you to all the supporters who came along to cheer the team on.

Last night, Trinity welcomed the recipients of the Peter Kirk and Whitehead Travel Grants to a reception at the President’s Lodgings.

The evening was an opportunity for students to meet members of the Kirk family and fellow grant recipients ahead of their travels and research across Europe this summer.

The Peter Kirk Memorial Fund honours the legacy of Sir Peter Kirk MP, Trinity alumnus, parliamentarian, and committed Europeanist, by supporting students in pursuing independent travel and exploration of modern European culture.

The James and George Whitehead Travel Grant supports Trinity students to travel abroad after they have completed their degree. The award holder is required to begin the travel within three months of completing Finals.

Last week we welcomed expert visitor Katie Horgan from the Wildlife Trusts’ Future Nature group for a fascinating moth survey at Trinity.

With more than 2,500 moth species in the UK, moths are an important group of pollinators and a vital part of the wildlife food chain. Yet their numbers have declined by around a third over the past 50 years. Because they are considered an “indicator species”, studying moth populations can help us better understand the health and biodiversity of our gardens and guide future conservation work.

Behind the Scenes: Boosting Biodiversity at Trinity College
We recently kicked off a baseline biodiversity audit here at the college, starting with an exciting invertebrate survey conducted by Future Nature (the consultancy arm of the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust).

Invertebrates form the absolute baseline of the food chain. A healthy bug population filters all the way up the ecosystem, supporting everything from birds and bats to small mammals and reptiles.
So far, the team have spotted an incredible variety of species in our gardens, including:
• Predatory ground beetles
• Solitary mining bees (and their cuckoos!)
• Hoverflies
• True bugs (Hemiptera)
What’s next? With two more invertebrate surveys and a full habitat assessment on the horizon, this data will help us create a tailored plan to enhance our green spaces and encourage an even greater diversity of wildlife.
Stay tuned as we discover more about the secret, wild world living right in our ornamental borders and woodlands!
