Every wood, park and nature reserve has its regulars. The people who quietly turn up, week after week, to clear paths, plant trees, restore habitats and care for the places the rest of us enjoy.

Presented by Thanet writer and journalist James Bonthron, this series shines a light on the volunteers who look after our local green spaces. Drawing on his background in Wildlife Conservation and Journalism, James meets the people giving their time to protect Thanet's natural environment, discovering what first drew them outdoors, what keeps them coming back, and why these places matter.

Along the way, the series explores the hidden world of local conservation, celebrates the wildlife on our doorstep, and reveals just how much is happening in the landscapes many of us pass every day.

Whether you're already a keen walker, curious about nature, or simply looking for somewhere new to explore, this is an invitation to see Thanet through fresh eyes, and perhaps discover your own place within it.

    Montefiore Woodland is one of Ramsgate's best-kept secrets: a rare patch of woodland cared for almost entirely by volunteers. In this first episode, James Bonthron meets the people who give their time to protect it, discovering what inspires them, what keeps them coming back, and why this small green space means so much to the local community. Along the way, he explores the woodland's remarkable history, its wildlife, and the challenges of managing an urban nature reserve. It's a story about conservation, community, and the quiet dedication that helps keep one of Thanet's most special places alive.
