Sandstone Volunteers Group/1

The Sandstone Volunteer Group comprises individual & club climbers and others who have an interest in maintaining the rock and environment of the sandstone crags in Kent and East Sussex by:

disseminating the objects of 'The Sandstone Code' and encouraging good practice' which will prevent the heavy wear and tear to which the rock has been subjected over many years
carrying out work to clear overgrowth and brush where appropriate
repairing damaged rock, discouraging grafitti and other gratuitous damage
recognizing and protecting unique areas of rock where botanical or geological SSSI status could threaten future access
encouraging participation in projects as they arise by enlisting the help of professional and voluntary bodies, where applicable, and the climbing community
creating sustainable use of this unique climbing area through maintaining good relationships with the owners and custodians of the crags
