The Ash Project – Kent Downs

About

The Ash Project is an urgent cultural response to the devastating effects of ash dieback in the Kent Downs, celebrating the cultural, natural and social history of the ash tree, and creating an enduring legacy for future generations. The Ash Project is an initiative of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Unit which received funding from Heritage Lottery Fund and Arts Council England to host ash related events in Kent from 2017–2018.
