Hothfield Heathlands: A big thank you!
Area Manager, Ian Rickards, takes a moment to reflect on the work at Hothfield Heathlads throughout the summer months.
February on Hothfield Heathlands
Kent Wildlife Trust Volunteer Margery Thomas explains the nature of heathland habitat at our stunning Hothfield Heathlands Nature Reserve and how our volunteer teams help us to protect this important and beautiful reserve.
Heather flowering at Hothfield Heathlands Nature Reserve
This is the month that the heather bursts into flower, covering our reserve with a carpet of purple flowers. Shading from bracken and birch scrub, has restricted the development of heather, but the recent work to create a more open habitat has allowed new heather seedlings to pop up all over the place.
