Friends of Newenden Meadow

A community restoring nature, one season at a time.

Friends of Newenden Meadow grew from a local restoration effort supported by the Selmes Trust. Today, we’re a volunteer-led charity helping to restore native habitats and reconnect people with nature.

Explore the Meadow

A place of quiet wonder, wild blooms & community care

Tucked away in the countryside on the border between East Sussex and Kent, Newenden Meadow is a living, breathing patch of beauty. Managed with care and local hands, it’s a space for wildlife to thrive — and for people to reconnect with nature’s pace.

In a time of vanishing habitats, places like this matter more than ever.
This meadow isn't just beautiful - it's vital.

Through the Seasons

A living landscape shaped through time, care & nature's rhythm

Every month brings new life to the meadow — from springtime orchids and summer butterflies to the rich textures of autumn and quiet winter rest. Step into the changing rhythm of a place that’s never quite the same twice.
