Our Flagship Nature Reserves
Kent Wildlife Trust manages over 80 nature reserves across the county, boasting a diverse range of habitats and species. To help you know where to start, we've assembled some of our top recommended reserves to visit.
Thanks to you, we can protect and expand the county’s most diverse and threatened habitats through our Wilder Kent 2030 Strategy.
We all know that the climate crisis isn't a future threat - it's today's reality. In Kent, habitats like heathlands, which were once common, have all but disappeared. Most of our waterways are now polluted, and one in ten species is facing extinction. It seems unbelievable that, in the coming years, creatures like dormice, hedgehogs and lesser spotted woodpeckers could be gone forever.
But there is hope. We have the knowledge, strategy and expertise to reverse this decline, and we know what works. But we cannot do it alone. Every gift, however small, is a lifeline for nature. Your donation will support vital work, including crucial habitat restoration during the autumn and winter, wilding through species introductions to drive nature-based approaches to large-scale restoration, biodiversity monitoring and standing up for nature through our advocacy work.
You can check the progress of our appeal by visiting the appeal page. Please do spread the word by sharing the KWT Nature Restoration Fund with your friends and family. The more people we reach, the more voices speak up for nature, now and into the future.
