Welcome to the Ewhurst LEAP website.

From 28 Jan there were problems with emails and the website that were out of our control. Please resubmit any emails that have bounced.

Ewhurst Local Environment Action People (LEAP) are an inclusive group of friendly volunteers working to improve the surroundings of our beautiful village through conservation, as well as raising awareness of wider environmental issues.

We usually have a working party once a month for a range of activities such as footpath clearing, pond maintenance or litter picking. Through initiatives such as sharing wildflower seeds at the Ewhurst Carnival, we engage others in wider issues that concern us all.

Below are the latest posts, messages and rambles. Amongst them are Richard’s wonderfully evocative articles about his wanderings around the parish, to see these articles in one place see Rambles in a Surrey Village.

Please come and join us at any of the LEAP events and working parties in the calendar below and join the mailing list for occasional emails.

Footpaths FP 432 and 435

We will be widening a footpath on Saturday – to make the muddy paths FP432 and FP435 towards Yard Farm passable – but wellies will still be needed!

Either make your own way there (map below) or meet at the end of Williams Place at 10am Saturday morning (8th Feb). I will bring the LEAP tools for cutting the brambles and briars, but please bring your own secateurs, shears or loppers if you want. We are investigating battery power tools, but at the moment we do not have insurance for using them. (We find that petrol power tools are too noisy and smelly for group work.)

It was nice to see many of you on the Coddiwomple on Monday. It was a very fitting tribute to Jean Overton.

Apologies to anyone who tried to contact us over the last few days – our email provider was taken over and the new company (123-reg) failed to set it up. It should be working now.

I hope you can be there on Saturday,
All the best,
Eddie
