BERENGRAVE Local Nature Reserve - Where history and nature come together

Friends of Berengrave

 

This website is about the history, flora and fauna of

Berengrave Local Nature Reserve

 

In the early 20th century the area was one of chalk quarrying and

cement manufacture. For this reason, we have included sections

on chalk, cement production and the history of cement.

 

We hope you will find this website interesting and that it will

encourage you to visit the reserve and, possibly, to join

Friends of Berengrave and support us in our efforts.

 

In order to expand on the information contained herein, this site has numerous links to other websites.

The Friends of Berengrave was formed by a group of people who wish to ensure that Berengrave Local Nature Reserve is maintained, indeed enhanced, to provide an environment for the benefit of the flora & fauna and the use of the public

 

Our main objectives are to:

  • Work with Medway Council, the site owners, to conserve and enhance the existing biodiversity
  • Encourage public interest in, and legitimate use of, the site
  • Promote the use of the site for educational and scientific purposes
  • Research the history of the site, maintain and publish this historical information for public benefit

 

Historical research has been undertaken with a grant from the

Local Heritage Initiative,

part of the

Heritage Lottery Fund
