A toddler has asked people to design a pebble and leave it by a tree in support of the front line workers battling Covid-19.
A note has been tied to a tree in Taddington Woods, Chatham, by a two-year-old boy named Logan, asking people to design a pebble in honour of the NHS.
Ruth Willshire lives in Oakleigh Close, Walderslade, and her house backs onto the woods.
Every day, Ruth walks her dog, Bella, through the 36 acres of wooded land and first noticed the message around the beginning of April.
The 51-year-old London police officer said: "There seems to be new stones added every day. Whenever I walk my dog in the woods there is always a family or someone there admiring the painted stones and talking about adding to them.
"As a police officer, I really appreciate community efforts and just thought this was so lovely."
Ruth knows nothing more about the youngster who has started the tribute.
She said: "I am sure Logan and his family will be local, as generally only local people walk in these woods as they are only about a mile long from one end to the other.
"It is clear that all ages are participating in this and not just children, which is so lovely."
Both Ruth and her 16-year-old daughter, Gabrielle, painted a stone and left it buy Logan's tree.
Ruth said: "It would be lovely to find out who Logan and his family are and why they decided to start such a wonderful project.
"It really makes our walks enjoyable. Lots of people have painted stones and the collection is growing every day."
