Exploring an Ancient Woodland: Home Wood

The United Nations has made 2010 the Year of Biodiversity. This isn't something that is just relevant to the Amazon or other exotic species-rich habitats around the world, its significance is all around us.
One day last week, looking at the plants and animals of Forest Row wasn't on my mind. My intention was to do a long walk to the north of the civil parish of Forest Row and get to the Surrey and Kent borders. However, it didn't quite… Continue

Fern with fronds

I needed to get away from my computer and enjoy the small differences between things. What better thing to do than go and look at ferns in Highams wood? This is one of my favourite spots in the civil parish of Forest Row ever since I found the coppiced sweet chestnuts in a sea of bluebells last year. So, armed with Roger Phillips' splendid… Continue

How old can apple trees be? Following up on my last post and the note about the PTES orchard survey project, I was at the NGS open day at Kidbrooke yesterday. While I was there I looked at the walled garden and its fruit trees in a bit more detail and then compared… Continue

Now that everything has come to life, the landscape around us is buzzing. Driving over the forest the other day I stopped at Four Counties car park and had a short walk and enjoyed the amazing view across to the North and South Downs. The light was gorgeous so I was fairly pleased with the picture looking north-west:

Intrigued by the term "unconference" that I read in a geeky article the other day, I've been reading more about processes and techniques for participatory action, sharing of information, and planning for the future. I suspect that we've all been to events that utilised some of these techniques, but I was amazed at the range of ideas people have had for having and sharing ideas, so this might initiate some thoughts locally about ways in which we can plan and facilitate events. It also has some… Continue

Stuart Goodwin said… - Hi Brad. Moving to FR in next month or so. I'd like to know more about the Festival and to offer help and resources: I have a couple of yurts that could be useful and a van that is suitable for a mobile office. I have some past experience in events and could offer some time to help. What say? Regards Stuart

PS - when saving potatoes to chit next year I have my ones that went green, does it matter if they are small or is there a size below which it is not worth planting them?

Tonya Stewart said… - Hello Brad
David Jonas suggested I leave a comment on your page. Myself and husband Graham are moving to Forest Row area at the end of the month (February) (from Godalming, also a transition town, though more recently than Forest Row).
I am keen to find work in the area and David thought you might be a good person to contact (he said you worked in internet publishing in Brighton).
My background is in magazine editing, journalism and, to a limited extent, public relations. I am very keen to find a suitable position and wondered if you might have any ideas or contacts in an appropriate area. Very grateful for any tips you are able to give, as very new to the area!
Very best wishes, Tonya Stewart
