So proud of our volunteer Tracey for speaking in front of lots of people today at #lwk2019 She is our #mentalhealthawarenessweek2019 hero! Shaw Trust

Tracey, a volunteer with Shaw Trust & Tunbridge Wells in Bloom, has found being outdoors hugely therapeutic. ‘When I first came to Park Time I couldn’t even come out of my house. I now feel like I am finally back and can achieve anything I want' #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

Next Park Time program starts this Sept! Get outdoors & get well! #nature therapy with West Kent Mind and @shawtrust #naturalhealthservice

On 3rd June we found this oak leaf floating in a pool at Scotney Castle. The 'eggs' laid on the underside are in a linear pattern and have 'antennae' protruding through the top of the leaf. Can anyone help identify please? Ian Beavis

I've finally solved the mystery of the 'galls with antennae' on floating oak leaves. They're Water Stick-insect eggs! Water Stick-insect is an aquatic heteropteran bug.
