Walderslade Amenity Woodlands
Location: Medway
Waldersalde's name originally is a Saxon name meaning "wooded valley". The woodlands are classified as being semi-natural ancient woodland. The wood has an "invisible" medieval history. Three local government authorities are based on the boundaries that existed within the wood during medieval times. The project will encourage the local community to reclaim their ownership of the woods. Which have suffered vandals, joy riders and fly tippers.
The project group have undertaken task days to reclaim paths, cut back vegetation and to clear litter. The local Scout Group have adopted the wood for their Environmental Badge and the local primary school is interested in using the woods for nature studies and walks. The group will, with the help of the local community, produce specially designed leaflets (a circular walk leaflet and 3 for flora, fauna & ecology of the woods), a sign-posted circular walk, interpretation/ information boards, 20 waymarkers, kissing gates and a footpath map.
