THE FRIENDS OF TUNBRIDGE WELLS AND RUSTHALL COMMONS
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.
