On the hop and slide
In March volunteers attended an amphibian training
course led by the Kent Reptile and Amphibian Group. Subsequently common
and marsh frog, common toad, and smooth newt have been found at locations
in the Green Corridor. In May it was the turn of reptiles to come under
the spotlight or as it turned out from under the ‘mat’. Reptile
surveys will take place from June to September. Please contact Rosemary if
you would like to join any of the survey groups.

Launch hits local TV news
The Local Nature Reserve was launched on 24th April with
the Mayor of Ashford sowing wildflower seeds and 72 cubs and beavers
taking part in the activities. The event was on BBC news for Kent and
Sussex. Well done to all who made it a success and here’s to further
parcels of land being designated with Nature Reserve status in the Green
Corridor.
