| Aim: |
We are a local community group aiming to promote conservation, protection and improvement of landscape and natural environment within the village. It is hoped to buy or lease further land to increase our wooded area. This also includes an area of meadow. At present we have planted 2 woods, one Kenninghall Wood under the umbrella of the Parish Council and Hemp Meadow Wood, adjoining Kenninghall Wood and planted 3 years later by our Trust with funds mostly raised by the village. At present we manage about 15 acres. We have close ties with the local school and sponsor a yearly event for them. The woods also provide a base for yearly festivals such as a Wassail and Mid Summer Eve celebrations. |

We also planted 2 trees for the 2 German POW's who died in the parish. |
