This pond is officially restored, and it’s looking absolutely beautiful this morning. We spotted a little family of baby ducklings exploring their new home, and it was the sweetest reminder of why this project mattered.

Nature is already returning 💚🦆 Thanks to Natural England and North West Kent Countryside Partnership who supported this project.

We are planning for our other two ponds to be restored. Updates to follow regarding Henhurst Lake and Ashenbank Pond.

✨ You may have noticed our fairies and their homes looking a little brighter and more magical recently in the Jeskyns Fairy Forest✨

Our wonderful volunteers have been busy giving some of the Fairy Forest sculptures a fresh new look with a splash of paint and plenty of care 🎨🧚

Swipe to see the before and after of this beautiful fairy restoration - what a transformation! The refreshed colours have really brought her back to life and added even more magic to the woodland trail.
Why not come and take a look at the ongoing painting works happening throughout the Fairy Forest and spot some of the magical updates for yourself? 🌳✨

A huge thank you to everyone who has given up their time to help make the Fairy Forest look so special for visitors to enjoy 💚
If you’d like to get involved with our friendly volunteer team, we’d love to hear from you!

You may have noticed that work has started in our Fairy Forest at Jeskyns Community Woodland 🌿✨

Today our fantastic volunteers have been busy clearing out some of the pathways that had become worn and rotten over time, helping to make the area safer and more enjoyable for everyone.
This is just the beginning of a wider refresh - we’ll also be giving the fairies a fresh coat of paint very soon to bring a bit of magic back to the woodland.

If you’d like to get involved and be part of our volunteer team, we’d love to hear from you.

Please email: [email protected] for more information.

Thank you to everyone who’s shared feedback with us - we’re excited to keep improving this much-loved part of the site. Keep an eye out for updates! 🧚‍♀️
