Member’s event – May 14th Walk at Jeskyns Community Woodland Henhurst Rd, Gravesend DA12 3AN
Jeskyns is home to 360 acres of newly planted woodlands, meadows and orchards. With a good network of surfaced walking trails, children’s play areas, café and even a dog activity trail, there is something for everyone to explore at any time of the year.
The WKBG was contacted during the consultation process leading to the late and much missed Barbara Wilkinson and myself walking the site giving suggestions on how the badgers could be protected. The fact that all three clans are still there is something I am very pleased about as should everyone involved in the project. The walk offers the chance to see how badgers can be protected when a park is established whilst at the same time learning about the woodland and its badgers. Volunteers and a park ranger from Jeskyns will also be attending the walk so it is a great opportunity to educate them about badgers, ensuring that they are even better protected. The park has no major undulations and has good car parking so why not join like minded people for an enjoyable stroll.
If you are interested please contact us – westkentbadgergroup@yahoo.co.uk for more information and to give us some idea of numbers. We meet outside the café which is near the carpark.
