A year at Hothfield Heathlands with Ashford Area Warden Will
Ashford Area Warden Will Glasson reflects on his first full year working across the local sites in this blog, co-written with long-time volunteer Margery Thomas.
One of the key aspects of their work is fostering a connection between people and nature. The wildlife site is a place where people can learn, appreciate, and actively engage with the natural world. The group believe that understanding and valuing their local environment is crucial for the well-being of both the community and wildlife.
Their continued efforts are a testament to the power of community-driven conservation. Dane Valley Woods stands as a living example of transformation, showcasing what can be achieved when dedicated individuals come together to restore and protect our natural spaces.
As they move forward, the group hopes to see even more growth, more trees, and more wildlife flourish within Dane Valley Woods. It is through the support of their community that they can continue to make this incredible transformation a reality.
We invite you to join us at Kent Wildlife Trust in our mission to preserve and cherish the beauty of nature in Kent, please contact Steve if you are local to the area and want to get involved.
