Recent achievements and news

The barge trip on 22 May 2010 was extremely successful, with a full complement of members and friends, and good meals, starting with breakfast at 7.30am and followed by lunch and tea.  Weather conditions made the voyage exciting with thick mist at the start and bright sunshine for the rest of the day.

  • Recent visits have been made to the reclaimed salt marshes at Abbots Hall Farm, to the orchids and nightingales on Danbury heath and to Holybread Wood. 

  • We have had speakers specialising in climate change, the social benefits of wild places and British wildlife.

  • We have also had the opportunity to take walks with experts in small groups, observing first hand the tremendous biodiversity of the area.

Continuing to make use of The Village Design Statement in raising the profile of the village and the continued use of the Statement in establishing a set of standard for long term conservation of the village environment.

Monitoring and managing Holybred Wood as an asset for the whole community.  This wood was under threat of sale for development and with the hard work of the Conservation Society and the Parish Council, enough funds were raised to give it ongoing protection.  It is an ancient woodland area noted for its magnificent bluebells and source of inspiration to all who walk there.
