It’s the “Goat” of Christmas past
Rangers celebrate “Christmas miracle” as escaped goat returns after three-month adventure
Lee Mason-Baldwin, Head of Education and Lifelong Learning at Kent Wildlife Trust:
“We want to say a huge thank you to the local residents, schools, nurseries, community groups, volunteers and families that wrote letters and answered our survey in support of new pond dipping platforms. Ultimately, this public support strengthened our funding application and made this project possible. We really could not have done it without you, and we hope you will visit us soon to try out the new platforms.
“We hope to see you all soon for a dip!”
Caroline Hogben, Business Development Manager on behalf of Biffa Award:
“What a wonderful location and how amazing do the platforms look? Anything like this for children is amazing, getting them outside and back in the open air environment after Covid, and I am glad that we have been able to support this. Biffa really likes to put money where it is needed, especially to help children.”
Rachel Maidment, Biffa Award Grants Manager:
“Biffa Award is delighted to be able to support Kent Wildlife Trust with the installation of new pond dipping platforms and boardwalk at Tyland Barn. The new nature-inspired area will complement the natural environment and increase the area where educational pond-dipping activities can be undertaken for a wide range of visitors to the site.”
Representatives of the Cobtree Charity Trust:
“We are delighted to be able to help Kent Wildlife Trust with £1000. This is magnificent – this is what Sir Garrard Tyrwhitt-Drake [Founder of the Cobtree Charity Trust] would have wanted all those years ago. This is it in action.”
