Friends of the Forest
The aims of the Society are:
Since the beginning in 1961, the Friends have bought many items of
equipment which help in running the Forest efficiently. These include a
radio communications system, a crane trailer, a fire-engine, a forage
harvester, Rangers’ vans, the distance dial at Four Counties,
picnic tables and a computer. In addition, the Friends try to buy
appropriate land within the ancient Pale to re-incorporate it into the
Forest, such as the woodland at Chelwood Vachery, and contribute to
conversion work on the buildings at the Forest Centre.
You can become a member of the Friends by making donations to the Society. In exchange you receive no special rights or privileges on the Forest but you will be sent copies of the Ashdown Forest News and will be entitled to attend the annual general meeting. You will also gain the satisfaction of knowing that you are contributing to the maintenance of one of the most important open spaces in south east England. The Friends financed the purchase of 1940 aerial photography of the Forest area; this kind of historical data is invaluable in monitoring how the vegetation on the Forest is changing and gives a fascinating insight into how the area was used.
