Welcome to the Ewhurst LEAP website.

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.

Cobbler’s Brook footpath

Thanks to the volunteers who helped at the pond last month.  There’s more to do but that will wait until next month, when the pond wildlife will have settled or left for the winter.

The footpath FP428 (going North from Ockley Road along Cobbler’s Brook) needs cutting back again, to make it passable without being scratched and wide enough to avoid the muddiest bits.  We’ll do that for this month’s activity.  At 10am on Saturday morning (12th October) we’ll meet at Leabrook, Mapledrakes Road and take the short walk to the path; see the map below.  I’ll have the LEAP tools at Leabrook for us, but please take any of your own tools you would like to use.  We’ll bring along some coffee and biscuits.

Jacquetta from the Surrey Climate Commission has asked if any of us would like to attend a webinar on  “Surrey’s Food Systems: How can we move towards healthier people, healthier soils and a healthier planet?“. Click the link for more details.

Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday,
All the best,
Eddie
