We continue with our efforts to improve the wildflower meadow, trying out different strategies to reduce the grasses and increase the number and variety of native flowering plants.

Thank you to Dave Welch for cutting the grass at the end of the summer and organising the resultant hay gathering. Also to Trevor Cooper for grass cutting.

Sue continues with the weekly butterfly transect from April to September. The Woodland group also participated in last year’s national Big Butterfly count and look forward to the same again this year.

Sue and Dave regularly monitored the bird boxes during the nesting season which showed an increase on the previous year. Statistics are submitted to BTO Nest Record Scheme.

 The Big Garden Bird count appeared to show the numbers of birds were slightly down on the previous year.

Following the recommendations of various experts it was decided that we would stop putting out feed for the birds as there is a plentiful supply of insects and berries within the Woodland. The cost of bird food continues to rise and funds are needed for other items.

Pat and Gerry were thanked for their continuing support over the years.

Full details of birds and butterflies recorded in the Woodland can be seen on our website www.montefiorewoodland.org.uk/.

Monthly Woodland working sessions continue to be friendly and enjoyable occasions. Members enjoy sharing knowledge and information as well as knowing that their efforts really do make a difference.

Most sessions have continued to be quite well attended this year with probably an average of 10 volunteers per session. We are always aware of the need to recruit new members, especially more younger people to help with the many tasks involved in woodland management. Ivy needs to be kept under control to prevent it from smothering the trees and damaging the surrounding walls. The invasive Alexander plant is a big problem as it tends to dominate the woodland preventing a wider variety of flora establishing. We do cut back as much as possible as well as digging out the very deep tap roots and removing seeds. We can see that some progress has been made with this. Then there are the brambles which grow at a tremendous rate.

We are pleased to retain some for the benefit of wildlife but there is the need to keep the pathways clear. Never ending tasks.

Thank you to Dave for organising the delivery and spreading of wood chippings along the footpaths making them more user friendly and deterring people from trampling other areas.

Under the guidance of Dave, our tree specialist, some trees which were dangerous or diseased have been removed with the help of tree surgeons directed by Ramsgate Town council. The remains of these trees are left to rot down in the woodland as they provide excellent food and shelter for wildlife.

The hornbeam we planted as our coronation tree is thriving as well as the native oak which had been grown from an acorn by volunteers Phil and Irene.

The native hedge planted along the edge of the wildflower garden is also thriving and putting on good growth.

Bat walks on summer evenings through the Woodland and George VI Park are increasingly popular with people of all ages thanks in part to items published by James Bothram. There is no charge to those attending but after each walk a request is made for voluntary donations, which are forwarded to the Kent Bat Group in support of their work. This year we were able to remit £84.27 to that group.

Sue and Peter Smith continue to do an excellent job in keeping the website up to date and looking good. We also have a face book presence which is useful for announcing current events and sharing information on wildlife issues.

We are very grateful for the donations received from supporters this year including the donation of … from Cllr Tony Ovenden and regular payments from our treasurer Jeffery Frampton.

We appreciate the support received from Ramsgate Town Council and were very pleased to be supplied with Hi-viz vests printed with ‘Montefiore Woodland Volunteer’. This will help to promote the work parties and identify volunteers working in the Woodland.

The lock up container they provided us with for storage of tools and equipment is a great asset. We have not yet managed to get it painted but further efforts will be made.

We are pleased to continue our links with the Montefiore Heritage Group. Members attend their talks and particularly enjoy their concerts held annually in the Synagogue.

We also thank the Petticoat Lane Emporium for the use of this room for our meetings.

Most of all we must thank our committee members and the volunteers who give their time and effort to maintaining and improving the Montefiore Woodland.

Friends of Montefiore Community Woodland 2025

Annual Report from the Committee

The Friends of Montefiore Woodland Group was formed in 2011 which means we have now been managing this woodland site for 14 years. The area is increasingly being recognised and valued as a tranquil green space to be enjoyed by the community and the various species of wildlife. It is a little haven for birds, squirrels, foxes, bats and hedgehogs.

Sue and I recently met with the practice manager of the East Cliff Medical Centre with a view to requesting that members of the practice might encourage patients to make use of the Woodland for relaxation. Also with the hope of recruiting more volunteers. They have agreed to display posters advertising work parties. We felt that the meeting was well received and had a positive outcome.

We continue with our efforts to improve the wildflower meadow. Thank you to Dave Welch for cutting the grass at the end of the summer and organising the resultant hay gathering. We continued to plant more native wildflower plants into the meadow but with, it must be said, limited success.

However the number of butterflies using the meadow has increased.

Our efforts will continue. Thank you to Sue Smith for sourcing and ordering the plants.

Sue continues with the weekly butterfly transect from April to September. The Woodland group also participated in the national Big Butterfly count and the Big Garden Bird count.

Thanks to Pat for feeding the birds through the winter.

Full details of birds and butterflies recorded in the Woodland can be seen on our website www.montefiorewoodland.org.uk/. Well worth a look, you will be amazed.

Monthly Woodland working sessions continue to be friendly and enjoyable occasions. Members enjoy sharing knowledge and information as well as knowing that their efforts really do make a difference.

Most sessions have been quite well attended this year with probably an average of 12 volunteers per session. We are aware of the need to recruit new members, especially more younger people to help with the many tasks involved in woodland management. We need to keep the ivy under control to prevent it from smothering the trees and damaging the surrounding walls. The invasive Alexander plant is a big problem as it tends to dominate the woodland preventing a wider variety of flora establishing. We do cut back as much as possible as well as digging out the very deep tap roots and we can see that progress has been made with this. Then there are the brambles which grow at a tremendous rate. We are pleased to keep some for the benefit of wildlife but need to keep the pathways clear. Never ending tasks.

We acquired several loads of wood chippings over the year which volunteers have spread along the footpaths to make them more user friendly and to deter people from trampling other areas.

Under the guidance of Dave, our tree specialist, some trees which were dangerous or diseased have been removed with the help of tree surgeons directed by Ramsgate Town council. The remains of these trees are left to rot down in the woodland as they provide excellent food and shelter for wildlife.

The hornbeam we planted as our coronation tree is thriving and we recently planted a native oak which had been grown from an acorn by volunteers Phil and Irene. Gathered from an oak tree in Nottingham, could it be descended from Robin Hood’s Major oak?

We need to keep it well watered to ensure its survival.

We had a very interesting Tree Walk led by Peter Hasted.

We are all still learning.

Bat walks on summer evenings through the Woodland and George VI Park are proving to be increasingly popular with people of all ages. The children in particular enjoy being out after dark with their torches. We have bought more Bat Detectors which give more interest and enjoyment on the walks. After each walk a request is made for voluntary donations, which are forwarded to the Kent Bat Group in support of their work.

Sue and Peter Smith continue to do an excellent job in keeping the website up to date and looking good. We also have a face book presence which is useful for announcing current events and sharing information on wildlife issues.

We are very grateful for the donations received from supporters this year including regular payments from our treasurer Jeffery Frampton.

We really appreciate the support we have received this year from Ramsgate Town Council. We were especially pleased when they installed a lock up container on the site which means we are able to store tools and equipment there rather than carting it back and forth from our homes for every work party. At present it is not very attractive and we are asking around for ant art group which might be interested in brightening it up, possibly with wildlife motifs.

We are pleased to continue our links with the Montefiore Heritage Group and are currently negotiating with Mark Negin regarding pictures to be displayed in the East Cliff Centre waiting room, as the original murals painted by Mark are no longer displayed there.

We also thank Sherlock’s Snug at the Petticoat Lane Emporium for the use of this room for our meetings.

We love this place.

Most of all we must thank our committee members and the volunteers who give their time and effort to maintaining and improving the Montefiore Woodland.

Friends of Montefiore Woodland

Annual Report from the Committee

The Friends of Montefiore Woodland Group is now in its thirteenth year and the Woodland continues to provide a tranquil green space to be enjoyed by the community and various species of wildlife. It is a little haven for birds, squirrels, foxes, bats and hedgehogs.

We continue in our efforts to improve the wildflower meadow. Last year we bought and planted many native wildflower plants into the meadow with some degree of success. The weather was unusually dry and warm at that time. This year we bought 88 plants which Sue and Leigh planted out at our last work party. So far there has been significant rainfall so hopefully a better result. At the same time Peter Atherall bought and planted out 250 native bluebell bulbs but unfortunately they were dug up and many destroyed. We don’t know what the cause of this was but it has been suggested to me that foxes are prone to dig up bulbs and eat them. Earlier in the year, Trevor and Lin also kindly donated and planted some Bluebells.

The increased variety of plants has attracted a greater variety and number of butterflies and pollinating insects. Thank you to Peter for advising and keeping a record of all plant species in the Woodland as well as listing the food sources of the various butterfly species.

Sue Smith continued with the weekly butterfly transect from April to September and the Friends group also participated in the national Butterfly count, recording 9 different butterfly species on the day.

Again we participated in the Big Garden Bird count, recording 11 different bird species on that day. New bird boxes have been installed and occupancy is being monitored by Sue. Thanks to Pat for feeding the birds throughout the winter.

Bat walks on summer evenings were continued and we look forward to doing the same in the summer months.

Full details of plants, birds and butterflies recorded in the Woodland can be seen on our website.www.montefiorewoodland.org.uk/. Well worth a look, you will be amazed.

The monthly volunteer work parties continue to be enjoyed and we have been very pleased to welcome some new helpers during the year to assist with various tasks.

The Hornbeam tree we planted to mark the King’s coronation appears to be thriving as does the newly planted native hedge at the perimeter of the wildflower meadow.

The fight against the brambles, ivy and invasive alexander ensure that there is always work to be done in the Woodland.

Several loads of bark chippings delivered to the Woodland have been spread along the pathways which not only make the pathways safer for users but also greatly improve the general appearance. Thank you to Dave Welch for overseeing as well as carrying out much of the work.

Another success is the repointing of the flint boundary wall which we have long petitioned to be done. Hopefully this will ensure that the wall continues to stand for another hundred years.

Ramsgate Town Council have taken over responsibility and management of the larger trees on the site. Their survey showed that several need to be removed due to disease and for safety reasons. We were extremely grateful to the council for the purchase of more tools and equipment and for the delivery of a container which ensures that the tools can be readily available to volunteers at all times. We hope to get it painted before too long as it is a bit of an eyesore at the moment.

Sue and Peter Smith continue to do an excellent job in keeping the website up to date and looking good. In addition the face book presence is useful for announcing current events and sharing information on wildlife issues.

We are very grateful for the donations received from supporters this year including regular payments from our treasurer Jeffery Frampton who does an excellent job in managing our finances.

We are pleased to continue our links with the Montefiore Heritage Group.

We also thank the Emporium cafe for the use of this room for our AGM meeting.

Most of all we must thank our committee members and the volunteers who give their time and effort to maintaining and improving the Montefiore Woodland.

Many thanks to our volunteers for the time and support they have given to maintain this special and valuable oasis of woodland adjacent to the East Cliff Montefiore Medical Centre, Ramsgate for the local community to enjoy.

Some twelve years on from the group’s formation many local people are still surprised of its existence!

This was an ideal opportunity for the Friends to invite the volunteers for a “Cuppa and Chat” at the end of our year’s Work Parties, especially as our mid-session coffee breaks fly by!

2023 Annual Report from the Committee
The Friends of Montefiore Woodland Group was formed in 2011 which means we
have now been managing this woodland site for 12 years. The area is increasingly
being recognised and valued as a tranquil green space to be enjoyed by the
community and various species of wildlife. It is a little haven for birds, squirrels,
foxes, bats and hedgehogs.

Considerable effort has been put into improving the wildflower meadow. Thank
you to Dave Welch for cutting the grass at the end of the summer and organising
the resultant hay gathering. The problem has always been that the grasses tend to
take over and smother other plants. We have tried yellow rattle seeds and plants
with some degree of success. Last year we planted many native wildflower plants
into the meadow but with little success due to the summer drought.

Last month we planted 80 more native plants having first removed grasses from
their immediate surroundings. This has been followed by several weeks of rain so
hopefully they will be off to a better start and we can look forward to improved
results this summer. Thank you to Sue Smith for sourcing and ordering the plants.
The increased variety of plants will also bring a greater variety of butterflies and
pollinating insects. Thank you to Peter Atherall for advising and keeping a record of
all plant species in the Woodland.

Sue Smith continues with the weekly butterfly transect from April to September
and the Friends group also participated in the national Butterfly count recording 9
different butterfly species on the day.

We also participated in the Big Garden Bird count, recording 11 different bird
species on that day. Thanks to Pat for feeding the birds through the winter.
Full details of plants, birds and butterflies recorded in the Woodland can be seen
on our website www.montefiorewoodland.org.uk/ Well worth a look, you will be
amazed.

Monthly Woodland working sessions continue to be friendly and enjoyable
occasions. Members enjoy sharing knowledge and information as well as knowing
that their efforts really do make a difference.

Some sessions have been better attended than others and we are always keen to
recruit more volunteers to deal with the many tasks involved in woodland
management. We need to keep the ivy under control to prevent it from smothering
the trees and damaging the surrounding walls. The invasive Alexander plant is a
big problem as it tends to dominate the woodland preventing a wider variety of
flora establishing. We do cut back as much as possible as well as digging out the
very deep tap roots. Then there are the brambles which grow at a tremendous
rate. We are pleased to keep some for the benefit of wildlife but need to keep
the pathways clear. Never ending tasks.

We have acquired several loads of wood chippings over the year which are spread
along the footpaths to make them more user friendly and to deter people from
trampling other areas.

Under the guidance of Dave our tree specialist some trees which were dangerous or
diseased have been removed, notably the Turkey Oak which was leaning
dangerously on the perimeter flint wall.

Bat walks on summer evenings were continued. After each walk a request is made
for voluntary donations, which are forwarded to the Kent Bat Group in support of
their work.

Sue and Peter Smith continue to do an excellent job in keeping the website up to
date and looking good. We also have a face book presence which is useful for
announcing current events and sharing information on wildlife issues.
We are very grateful for the donations received from supporters this year including
regular payments from our treasurer Jeffery Frampton.
We are most grateful for the support we have received this year from Ramsgate
Town Council. The Mayor Raushan Ara organised a litter pick by local school
children which was very effective and enjoyed by all.

Councillor Tony Ovenden made a generous donation to the funds which allowed us
to purchase more tools, woodland plants and a native hornbeam tree. This was
planted to replace the Turkey oak (but in a different location) and to mark this
year’s coronation. Tony is now a regular on our work parties and has joined the
Woodland Committee.

We are very excited to be getting a storage unit where we can safely keep our
tools. This will make a big difference to our work parties as all necessary
equipment will be readily available to volunteers at all times.

We are pleased to continue our links with the Montefiore Heritage Group.

We also thank the Racing Greyhound for the use of this room for our AGM meetings.

Most of all we must thank our committee members and the volunteers who give
their time and effort to maintaining and improving the Montefiore Woodland.

Report from the Committee.

This year we celebrate 10 years since the formation of the Friends of Montefiore Woodland Group, when we took over the management of the site from Ramsgate Town Council, the owners of the site.

As with many aspects of our lives the work of the group was hampered by the restrictions of the Covid epidemic. During that period we were unable hold our regular work parties but the Woodland remained open throughout. I’m sure many members of the community enjoyed the peace and tranquillity it provided at that time. I’m pleased to report that the work parties are now back up and running and there is some catching up to do. The brambles, ivy and alexander continue to grow at quite a pace and need to be kept in check.

The wildflower meadow has not lived up to expectations. It was agreed that the grasses tend to hinder the growth of other species despite efforts to introduce yellow rattle and other plants. However, the number of butterflies and insects continue to increase in that area. Thank you to Dave Welch for mowing the meadow at the end of the growing season. Last Saturday’s work party planted out 80 native wildflower plants in the meadow which should make quite a difference to this year’s flowering. Thank you to Sue Smith for sourcing the plants and taking delivery.

Several trees have been removed either for safety reasons or to allow space for others to flourish. Thank you to Dave for overseeing this and for arranging for wood to be chipped and spread along the pathways. Always a great improvement. The intention is that logs be left in woodpiles to provide wildlife habitat but unfortunately, they are often taken away by members of the public.

We were very sorry to hear of the death of Alan Johnson. Alan was always there to help at the work parties as well as being a frequent visitor to the Woodland where he enjoyed sharing his knowledge of spiders and insects.

Thank you to Peter Atherall for advising and keeping a record of all plant species in the Woodland. Take a look on the website and be amazed at the number of different species – about a hundred and still counting.

The nesting boxes are maintained. It was noted that one of the bat boxes appears to have been vandalised, probably by woodpeckers. Pat Short has continued to top up the bird feeders throughout the winter months, attracting a variety of birds to the site. Thank you Pat.

Sue Smith continued with the butterfly transect from April to September and the Friends group also participated in the Big Butterfly Count. Full details of plants, birds and butterflies recorded in the Woodland can be seen on our website www.montefiorewoodland.org.uk

Bat walks on were held on Summer evenings and voluntary donations forwarded to the Kent Bat Group in support of their work.

Looking back over previous reports I note that graffiti and rubbish were a perpetual nuisance. I’m pleased to report that graffiti is no longer possible as ivy is covering the wall and on the whole rubbish is not a problem. We do a litter pick during the work parties and some of the regular users of the Woodland also pick up on their visits. Generally, dog walkers do pick up after their dogs but it only takes a few to leave it behind making it very unpleasant for everyone.

We are very grateful for donations received from our supporters this year. A special thank you to Geoffrey Frampton for taking over the role of Treasurer. He has had a very trying time in transferring our bank account with a view to keeping down bank charges but hopefully this has now been resolved.

Sue and Peter Smith Continue to do an excellent job in keeping the website up to date and looking good. We also have a Facebook presence which is useful for announcing events.

We have always appreciated out links With The Montefiore Heritage Group. Last year I became a member of the group and have enjoyed several events held by them.

We owe thanks to Ramsgate Town Council who have been very helpful and supportive this year and to the Racing Greyhound for the use of the room for our AGM.

Most of all we must thank our committee members and the volunteers who give their time and effort in maintaining and improving this little haven which is greatly appreciated by the community.

His benches have been much appreciated by the local community – especially this year with Covid 19 making this little green oasis even more important to many locals during the long hot summer of 2020!

Thank you, Dave!

Work Party over 7.10.17

Work parties have generally been held on the first Saturday morning of most months throughout the year. This enables us to continue to preserve and improve the area.

We have been very pleased to welcome several new volunteers who have helped in keeping the rampant ivy, alexander and brambles in check. Litter is cleared on a regular basis and the siting and emptying of waste bins is now much less of a problem.

Dave Welch continues to obtain loads of wood chippings, which have been used to very good effect on the pathways.

Dave, Ron and Nick Rankin attended a reception at the Yarrow Hotel in January on behalf of the Friends of Montefiore Woodland. They received a certificate awarded by the Thanet Community Awards “in recognition of outstanding contribution the organisation has made to the community of Thanet.”

The wildflower meadow flourished over the summer months and was cut back in November. Attention has been paid to specific plants in order to restrain the growth of grasses and promote the plants which are most attractive to insects. We are grateful to Peter Atherall for keeping a record of flowers and plants in the woodland. Full details can be seen on the Woodland’s website. Peter was given a much-deserved award from Kent Wildlife for his work on conservation over many years.

Sue Smith has continued her regular butterfly transect over the summer months and her records can also be viewed on the website.

We participated in the National big butterfly count in July when 10 different species were recorded.

Bat walks were held over the summer months attracting a good number of people of all ages.  There were sightings of bats on every occasion. A collection of voluntary contributions enabled us to send a contribution to the Kent Bat Group.  Thanks to Cllr Michelle Fenner’s donation we were able to purchase a Heath Bucket Moth Trap which we set for the first time on the last bat evening, Friday 31st August 2018, 7:30pm – 9:15pm during our Bat Walk .

As the Woodland has free access to the public, the trap was not left unattended, to avoid risk of it being stolen or damaged. On our return to the woodland it was with interest 20 + visitors watched as we opened the trap to see if any moths were within.

The following moths were recorded:

• Orange Swift
• Square Spot Rustic
• Several micros moths (unidentified)
• Broad Bordered Yellow Underwing
• Agriphila geniculea

During a recent storm a mature horse chestnut tree was blown over from the Synagogue grounds damaging the boundary wall.  The tree has now been removed and the wall repaired. The sawdust created in the tree removal was a welcome addition to be spread along the path by Dave.

Cllr Michelle Fenner has indicated that she would like to donate £879.25 from her final Ward Funding Pot to Friends of Montefiore Woodland towards the cost of maintaining the flint wall. We express our sincere thanks to Michelle for her continuing support.

I would like to thank Sue Smith and Peter for the excellent job they do in maintaining the website – always a pleasure to browse through it.

I would also remind you that we have a Face book presence, which is useful for sharing information with members and other organisations.

The committee meet regularly at the Montefiore Arms. We thank them for their work and the Montefiore Arms for their hospitality. Also thanks to the Racing Greyhound for the use of the room for our AGM.

Shirley KBG leads bat walk 26th Aug 17

This year we celebrate 6 years since the formation of the Friends of Montefiore Woodland Group during which time considerable improvements can be seen thanks to the efforts of our volunteers.

Each year we see plants looking stronger and more established in the improved environment.  We are already enjoying spring flowers – daffodils, primroses and violets. Summer will see the flowering of the meadow and last autumn there were crab apples and we harvested our first hazel nuts – not a huge crop but we all got to sample them and they are sweet and delicious.  Several more hazel shrubs have been planted so we can look forward to more nuts unless the squirrels get there first. Thank you to Peter for advising and keeping a record of all plant species in the Woodland. Over 60 different species were identified in 2017.

Monthly Woodland working sessions prove to be friendly and enjoyable occasions. This year we were pleased to welcome several newcomers who we hope will continue their support in the coming months – many hands make light work. Dave Welch has again acquired loads of wood chippings which are spread along the footpaths to make them more user friendly and to deter people from trampling other areas.

The nesting boxes have been maintained and Pat and Gerry Short continue to top up the bird feeders, which attract a variety of birds to the site.  Provision of water for the wildlife is not easy as there is no water supply on the site. We have installed a shallow water container, which is certainly being used but needs regular topping up. The Friends group participated in the national Big Garden Bird Watch, recording 12 different species.

Sue Smith continues with the weekly butterfly transect from April to September and the Friends group also participated in the national Butterfly count recording 8 different species on the day. The total number of species seen within the woodland now stands at an impressive 17!

Full details of plants, birds and butterflies recorded in the Woodland can be seen on our website www.montefiorewoodland.org.uk/

The wildflower meadow showed some improvement this year, more wildflower species have been planted as well as buckthorn with a view to attracting more butterflies. Thank you to Dave for the annual cutting at the end of the summer.

Bat walks on summer evenings were again very popular attracting people of all ages. We are able to lend bat detectors on the walk but some of our enthusiastic regulars have now bought their own.  After each walk a request is made for voluntary donations, which are forwarded to the Kent Bat Group in support of their work.

The collection and removal of rubbish and dog waste continued to be a major problem with the council failing to collect. Following on a road traffic incident which saw part of the flint wall demolished and the bench and bins destroyed and after many complaints and consultations with the council’s officers some of the bins were re-sited and another has been removed. The flint wall was repaired to a very high standard. Georgian Builders advised the removal of some saplings and the accumulated earth that had built up over time as this was and may cause additional problems in future. Our thanks to Ron Newman for tackling this problem with the help of a digger. During the removal of the earth we made an interesting find of an intact old local TOMSON & WOTTON, LIMITED beer bottle! 

Graffiti has been less of a problem as the thorny plants along the foot of the wall take hold and ivy continues to mask the wall. There has been evidence of occasional rough sleepers using the woodland but they have not presented any real problems and their stays have been brief.

We are very grateful for the donations received from supporters this year.

We also owe thanks to the Montefiore Arms who kindly allow us the use of a room for our committee meetings and to the Racing Greyhound for the AGM meetings.

Sue and Peter Smith continue to do an excellent job in keeping the website up to date and looking good. We also have a Face book presence which is useful for announcing current events.

Most of all we must thank our committee members and the volunteers who give their time and effort to maintaining and improving this little haven.
