Conservationists say an area threatened by development, including the HS2 rail scheme, will benefit.
A new inland flood plain and a five-mile woodland corridor could enhance an area which is threatened by the HS2 rail project, conservationists have said.
The plan for the River Ray between Otmoor and Marsh Gibbon could create an inland water complex on the scale of The Fens or the Somerset Levels, said BBOWT. BBOWT conservation strategy director Prue Addison said: "This area between Oxford, Bicester and Aylesbury is one of the most fantastic areas for wildlife in our region.
BBOWT said the project, named "Reconnecting Bernwood, Otmoor and the Ray", would benefit wildlife, reduce flooding and tackle climate change.
