A memorial bench provides a peaceful place for visitors to pause, reflect and enjoy the natural surroundings, while creating a lasting tribute.
We currently offer benches at three reserves:
West Blean and Thornden Woods
With a donation of £2,500, you can dedicate a handcrafted green oak bench, complete with a plaque engraved with your personal inscription.
These benches are designed to be fully accessible, with a backrest, arm supports and space for wheelchair users, ensuring everyone can enjoy the woodland setting.
Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve
With a donation of £2,500, you can dedicate a teak bench, complete with a plaque engraved with your personal inscription.
Situated within this tranquil reserve, the bench provides a peaceful place for reflection while supporting the conservation of this special landscape.
Oare Marshes Nature Reserve
With a donation of £1,500, you can dedicate an existing bench featuring a plaque engraved with your personal inscription.
Set within one of Kent's most celebrated coastal nature reserves, your bench will provide visitors with a place to pause and enjoy the spectacular wildlife and scenery.
By choosing a bench, you are not only creating a meaningful tribute but also helping Kent Wildlife Trust protect wildlife and care for the special places your loved one would have cherished.

Testimonials
I would like to thank Kent Wildlife Trust for all of their support and assistance in setting up the memorial bench with plaque in memory of my Mum.
The request was at short notice and during a busy time for the Trust, but the request and all queries were handled in a timely manner and with empathy and understanding.
The bench with plaque is a fitting tribute to Mum and the location is a beautiful, peaceful place where the family can now visit and remember her.
Special thanks go to Terri, for her personal attention and understanding from the beginning of the request, right through to installation and after. I can’t thank you enough.
