The Bugs Matter survey determined bug splats on number plates have fallen by 67% since the app was launched in 2021. Conservationists describe the outlook for Kent as “seriously concerning” but acknowledge that more data is required to determine long-term trends Bug splats declined 13% from 2023 to 2024, following sharper drops of 51% in 2023 and 27% in 2022. This shows the rate of decline has slowed and it may even flatten or reverse next year.

Within the landscape around Lamberhurst, Furnace Farm and Scotney Castle stand out as two areas where Kent Wildlife Trust (KWT) is making a real difference. Furnace Farm is a former intensively managed farm, now moving toward a haven for wildlife and the grounds of Scotney Castle are managed by KWT using some of our cattle. This joined up landscape approach is hugely important for wildlife, offering corridors and refuges in a landscape that isn’t always favourable. Now there is an incredible opportunity to expand this landscape even further.
As part of the Wilder Blean Festival, try out Forest Bathing as a way to connect to the woodland with this introductory session.
