Congratulations to the Wilder Kent Volunteer Awards winners

Quotes about our wonderful winners form the staff who nominated them:

• “He creates an inviting and inclusive atmosphere, which makes other volunteers at Tyland Barn feel welcome”.
• “Bob is an inspiration to other volunteers and staff. He has a wealth of knowledge about the natural world which he willingly shares in his kind and gentle manner with those he works alongside”
• “The volunteers have made a noticeable impact on their sites in recent years, conducting physically demanding work to aid the environmental wellbeing of the habitats on the reserves. They consistently prove their capacity to be inventive, collaborative, able to solve problems and able to have fun”.
• “Rob has become an invaluable volunteer, empowering the team to go further with their projects and ambitions by picking up tasks whenever he can, thus allowing staff to focus on other important jobs. He collaborates well with both staff and other volunteers to get the job done in the most efficient way”.
• “Events at Romney Marsh would simply not have been able to continue without the support of the volunteers. They allow KWT to demonstrate its commitment to helping families access nature and develop a healthy connection with the natural world in their local community.
• The volunteers have not only developed their own interest in nature, but they also actively encourage both adults and children to develop a passion for the natural world”.
• “They worked together well as a team and display the passion, inspiration, collaboration and ambition that is at the heart of KWT’s values”.
• “Without Sue’s dedication, it would have been impossible to run these surveys and KWT would have missed out on gathering important information about these habitats. The Bee Road sites were only designated a couple of years ago and so the information and changes reported from the survey days are incredibly important”.

We would also like to say a big thank you and well done to all volunteers across the trust. It was tough competition and we very grateful for all your hard work and dedication to Kent Wildlife Trust.

Thank you KWT Volunteers!
