Doing a shedload of good in Folkestone since 2006!
About The Shed Urban Wilderness
The Shed Urban Wilderness is a community project based in Folkestone, Kent, operated by registered charity Folkestone Youth Project.
We aim to create a space where both nature and people can coexist, working to transform a disused former plot of Network Rail land, into a pleasant, ecologically-sound community space.
In addition to our day-to-day work with young people, on Thursday mornings the site is open to everyone in the local community.
