Campaigns and Projects

Guardians of the Deep – The project’s beginnings

When we last checked in with Guardians of the Deep we were thrilled to announce our success in securing a £446,100 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Our new Project Officer Zoë Stevenson explains what’s been happening since then, what the project is all about, and how you can get involved in helping your local coastline.

Wilder Kent Strategy

Our Volunteers are Amazing

During Volunteers’ Week 2017 we want to take the opportunity to showcase the amazing things that our volunteers do to make Kent a better place for wildlife and for people.

Campaigns and Projects

Lodge Hill in May

We're still campaigning to #SaveLodgeHill, a UK stronghold for nightingales, from housing development. We went back to Lodge Hill since our visit in Autumn, to see how the site has changed over the seasons and to listen to the nightingales.

Families and Schools

Wild your child!

It's common knowledge that spending time in nature is beneficial for everybody, especially for children, and the Wildlfe Trust's recent initiative, Every Child Wild, aims to inspire outdoor adventures.
