Parish Council Steps In
Kingston Parish Council have recently purchased part of
the old Elham Valley Railway, which includes a permissive path. To make
the area more accessible, they will be building steps on Sunday 21st
March with the help of the Kentish Stour Countryside Project. Under the
Canterbury Greenspace Project, KSCP can help with resources for community
wildlife sites like the railway line at Kingston. Other work being done on
the day will include removing sycamore saplings that are beginning to
dominate the area.
The line at Kingston has an interesting range of flora
and it is hoped that a detailed survey will take place this spring. Other
survey work at the site may include small mammals and bats.
If you would like to help with the step building, meet
at the Car Park of The Barn in Kingston at 10.15am, or just come along
during the day to see the work being done. For more information contact
