Before and after photo of an area we cleaned up today in South Ashford. We collected hundreds of cans, cans that could have saved hundreds of hours of energy if recycled. #Recycling #KeepKentClean #KeepAshfordClean #litterheroes @AshfordCouncil @KeepBritainTidy @EveryCanCounts

Bookings are filling up fast for Forest Therapy.... 🌳🌳🌳 “Forest Therapy...is inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin Yoku..is a slow, immersive, mindful walk which opens up your senses and connects you deeply with the natural world, promoting...peace and harmony”

Big milestone for AquaLab! As of today, Our Stour has provided educational sessions relating to rivers, to over 1000 children! Our target was 450 children over the 3 year project (we still have 1 year to go!) To celebrate we made friends with these smooth newts at @WardenHouse

Good news! There is still another month before the photo competition ends 📷 Plenty of time to capture Spring in all her glory 🌼🌸🌺💐🌷🌱🌳 #photography #ashford #singletonlake #spring

The council try to maintain the rat population in the area because if their population boosts it can have a detrimental effect on wildlife. Rats enjoy eating bird eggs so more rats mean less wildlife on the lake. Please feed responsibly 🦆🐥

Just a gentle reminder when feeding the ducks and other birds at the lake- Please give small portions and ensure what you’ve given is eaten before giving more and try to avoid leaving food on the ground. By feeding the ducks we are also inadvertently feeding the rats!
