New – VCS 2025 Calendar available now!

The A4 (landscape) calendar features 12 full colour pictures, taken by VCS members and friends in and around the conservation area. The calendars are always popular, especially as they make ideal presents for family and friends.

We have held the price this year at £6 per calendar. All profits go towards supporting our work, conserving and looking after the meadow, woodlands, river and ponds in the lower Loose valley.

You can buy calendars direct from us on Tuesdays, between 10:00am and 3:00pm. We’ll be at the Conservation Cabin, Cave Hill, ME15 6DU.

Alternatively you can order a calendar for collection or local delivery from Bryn or Alan:

New – VCS are supporting Maidstone Eco-Hub 2024!

As a Maidstone based conservation organisation, we at VCS are pleased to be supporting Maidstone’s Eco-Hub 2024.
The Eco-Hub is a pop-up community information centre which provides information about living sustainably and lowering carbon footprints.
The hub will operate from a unit on the lower level of the Mall shopping centre, near the exit to Gabriel’s Hill. It will be open on selected days from Saturday 26 October to Saturday 9 November.
Members of the VCS team will be at the Hub on some days to support the initiative and promote the work of the society.
You can download a leaflet with more information about year’s Eco-Hub – Maidstone Eco-Hub 2024 leaflet
