Volunteering updates from our nature parks and gardens volunteers.

A once-thriving woodland sanctuary for local and rare flora and fauna has been decimated as a result of illegal waste activities.

The High Down volunteer team has spent the last part of the winter season finishing off coppice and ride works at Yockletts Bank, Spong Wood and Quilters Wood. There has also been a lot of fallen trees to deal with, particularly at Broadham Down and Spong Wood.

When the team started working with the choughs, identifying them was easy. They were simply named after the colour of the leg ring they sported. However, as they multiplied in number, the chough Mums quickly realised this trend had limitations, so names were brought into the equation.

This update describes some recent work carried out by volunteers at Brenchley Wood and Chiltern Ponds.
