I live in Sydney Road Ramsgate which is a stone’s throw away from Montefiore Woods. I have lived in Sydney Road for thirty years and my family and I have frequently used the woods over the years. But in the last ten years I have been unable to go into the woods as I had an accident and badly hurt my ankle and am now disabled. But since the volunteers have cleared it and made safe pathways and places to sit to enjoy the woodland and the wild flower meadow I have once again loved using Montefiore Woods.
To have somewhere you can go that is like being in the country but in town is wonderful. To hear the birds and see the wildlife is great. There is so much concrete, metal and plastic nowadays that to have a haven of and for wildlife must be treasured. I would like to thank the volunteers for what they have achieved in Montefiore Woods and how much pleasure the woods bring to the local community.
I was really pleased to see a few of the volunteers at an award ceremony that I was attending being held by the Kent Wildlife Trust. I believe they achieved Bronze for the garden area in the woods. Well done to them all for all their hard work.
We need to safeguard these areas so that they remain as part of our heritage and our children’s and their children’s.
