Kentish Stour Countryside Project

ACCESS

 
  Clowes Wood new access

The KSCP has been aware for sometime that some of the Public Rights of Way in Clowes Wood, Chestfield have not been accessible. With funding from Brett Environment Trust and Interreg and help from KCC, Forest Enterprise, and Canterbury Ramblers the Rights of Way are being opened up and some are being managed with wildlife in mind. Some rides (tracks used to extract timber) will have graded habitat edges, progressing from grassy/heathy strips, through to bramble, to shrubs to tall trees.

 


KSCP volunteers have helped with waymarkers in the wood

  A step in the right direction

Voluntary Conservation Officer Craig Edwards is currently surveying all of the KSCP promoted walks in the Ashford area - Train Rides to Ramble and the Stour Valley Walk - to assess the condition of the paths, stiles and waymarking. If needed funding is available to replace or repair damaged stiles or waymarkers. If anyone would like to assist Craig or just join him for a walk, please contact the office on 01233 813307.
