Woodlands Group – Wild About New Ash Green

Are you interested in helping to support our natural habitats in New Ash Green, in promoting conservation and enhancing the green spaces that make NAG special?

The Woodlands Group has been dedicated over the past 20 years to support and enhance our natural amenities across New Ash Green, such as the NAG Orchard and Meadow, helping to manage surrounding woodland and promoting wildflower verges.

We are a small, friendly group of volunteers who meet every third Saturday of the month.  Tasks are varied, from pruning apple trees and clearing scrub, to building dead hedges and enhancing the environment for both our residents and wildlife.  Our volunteers are also varied in age and abilities, there really are jobs for anyone who wants to help.

If you are interested in helping or are simply curious about our natural habitats in and around New Ash Green, why not come down to the Orchard on the 3rd Saturday of the month. We start at 10 am and finish at 1pm with a break for coffee and a chat around 11:30. All equipment and guidance are provided, there’s usually a cup of tea or coffee as well.

You can find us on Facebook @ Woodlands Group – Wild About New Ash Green or you can contact us via wildaboutnag@gmail.com.
