This event will take place on Saturday 4th May from 10:30am to 4:30pm at The Vine Gardens, Sevenoaks.

This event will take place on Saturday 22nd June, 2:30-5pm (arrive from 2pm for refreshments). It will be at the Bat and Ball Community Centre, Crampton’s Rd, Sevenoaks TN14 5DN.

There will be a keynote talk on rewilding from Caroline Halfpenny from All Growth Matters. You can read more about Caroline at her website here. We are delighted to have support from Sevenoaks Town Council and the Kent Community Fund for this event.

 If you’re based in Sevenoaks you can help by filling in the “Greening Sevenoaks” survey here, which will be used to track progress in making Sevenoaks greener: https://uk.surveymonkey.com/r/P8N55QM

There will be a mass cycle event on the evening of Friday 14th June. This is to demand a dedicated cycle path from Tonbridge to Tunbridge Wells. A dedicated cycle route would relieve congestion and enable children to safely cycle to school. People are welcome to join the cycle, help as a volunteer, or donate to support event costs.

We are building a network of people who can share values, ideas, and events, and at times join together to take positive action. Because the climate degradation we are facing is so immense, and can feel overwhelming, it is important to have others we can share with.

We would really appreciate it if you could help us to build this community
by writing in with any eco-tips, news, or events that you have.

We are also seeking people who can volunteer with us. We are hoping to build resources region by region and are looking for people who can keep an eye out for relevant projects and events, and send that information in to us.

See the “contact” tab for how to get in touch.
