Activities

The Friends of the Commons augment the work of the Commons Conservators and the Ranger. We do this by members volunteering to work on the Commons. Typical activities include picking up litter, clearing scrub, enhancing public access and helping to promote ecological diversity. We also help to fund associated expenditure, particularly for items not normally covered in the Conservators' budget.

Objects: Subject Always To The Provisions Relating To The Commons Contained In The County Of Kent Act 1981, And To The Rights Of The Lords And Ladies Of The Manor Of Rusthall For The Time Being, The Objects Of The Society Are The Conservation, Maintenance, Preservation And Peaceful Enjoyment For The Benefit Of The Public Of The Commons By Such Means As The Society In Consultation With The Conservators Of The Commons Thinks Fit.
