Welcome to the Ashford Community Woodland website
The site is located on Singleton Hill, to the south-west of the town of Ashford in Kent, UK.
There is access from Singleton Hill, from the Singleton Environment Centre and via several footpath entrances.
Cars can be parked at the Environment Centre during opening hours. (Scroll down to the section headed “OTHER WEBSITES OF INTEREST” for a link to the SEC’s website) Note, the car park on Singleton Hill is only used on our Task Days or for access by contractors.
Volunteers are always needed, to help maintain the site. We hold regular Task Days on the first Saturday each month and perform a variety of tasks, including tree thinning, litter-picking, hedge-laying and meadow-mowing. We meet at 10 am in the car park at the top of Singleton Hill and usually finish no later than 1 pm. Please contact us for more information.
This website will be added to over the coming months and years. If you have anything to contribute – by way of photographs, feedback or other input – please email to ashfordcommunitywoodland@hotmail.co.uk
ACW has been helped from the start, and continues to receive help and advice, from The Conservation Volunteers (TCV). Their website can be found at www.tcv.org.uk/southeast
FORTHCOMING EVENTS
Task Days take place on the first Saturday in the month. Please note, however, there won’t be a Task Day on 6 May, due to the Coronation of King Charles III. The Singleton Environment Centre will be closed that day.
We plan to attend the Volunteer Day on Monday 8 May. More details will follow in due course.
For regular Task Days please meet in the car park on Singleton Hill at 10 am.
