The disused allotments
adjacent to Brasted recreation ground have been
regenerated over the last 15 years into a community
woodland. Tree planting projects, including
participating in the Guinness Book of records attempt in
2000, have been undertaken by volunteers joined by
clients from Horizons Day Opportunities Centre who have
also helped with ongoing maintenance. This area is
currently used as a Dog Walk but the Parish Council is
proposing to develop it further, creating wildflower
meadows, habitat piles and a nature trail, so that it
can be used as an outdoor classroom for environmental
studies by local schools as well as becoming a more
enjoyable facility for the parish. |
