Nomination for The Culture Awards

In the post the other day this arrived

enclosed with a letter gongratulatiing me and explaing this was the first of what is hoped to become an annual event to celebrate the rich cultural life in the district. It went on to say if I wanted to see information about this years winners then go to http://www.creativecanterbury.com/main.cfm?objectid=67

So congratulations to the winners and although it is my name is on the certificate, this is a partnership project and I have been working with several members of staff with The Kent Wildlife Trust who are enabling the Wildart Trail to happen. It is encouraging that the local authority recognises the efforts made by members of its community especially when times are difficult.

Three of the four totem posts have now been completed and installed. I probably explained earlier that each post is a record of class work and exploration into woodland life by students at local Primary Schools.

More generally speaking items / events  for the Wildart Trail are beginning to happen these include entrance features, willow weaving workshops, seating, sculptures and more, these will unfold over the summer with some kind conclusion by autum 2011. I will post on this blog in much more detail as items are made, and events draw nearer.  Feedback about the trail so far has been positve and regular dog walkers have mentioned the increase in activity and are expectant !..........The main  improvements to the car park  have also been finished with parking for disabled visitors and much improved surfacing and demarcation, fencing and a pair of swankey new entrance signs.
