Thank you to everyone who came along today with special thanks to two new volunteers - Lol and Den. We got loads of work done which is helping the glade to really take shape. The small clearings we are making will soon be a haven for wildlife.

Thank you to everyone who supported the Great Bredhurst Tidy Up today.

We also cleared grass from the pavement which doubled its width! A tremendous effort ...

Many thanks to Kent Police who regularly patrol Bredhurst Woods. Thankfully, the majority of vehicle owners have permits and are considerate to others. We're also grateful to individuals and off road clubs who help on some BWAG task days.

Three trustees attended a tree course at Knepp Castle, Sussex, yesterday to study and debate ways to look after veteran trees, dead wood, fungi and much more. An excellent day led by Ted Green. The day really made us all think about how we care for our trees in Bredhurst and what steps we can take to improve their health. ...

Thank you everyone who came along to Task Day today and especially to Ann & Barry Callen. A few years ago before they emigrated to Australia, they were both very active BWAG members and Ann was a trustee for many years. They actually planned their trip to the UK this year so that they could join us today! We repaired ...

Great task day today clearing the path from Kemsley Street to Strawberry Banks. Thanks to everyone who helped and especially the younger helpers from St Peter's Explorers and new members Amanda, Jacob and Andy.

Thank you to Kent Field Club for visiting Bredhurst Woods to monitor fungi. Although many species have previously been recorded, the recent dry weather meant fewer species were found. They're all still there but they just need some rain!

Photos from the Old Chalk New Downs event... a very enjoyable day!

BWAG Trustees spoke at today's Kent Wildlife Conference.
