Asked to picture an ancient woodland, our minds conjure thickets of gnarled, towering trees where you could easily slip off the path and find yourself amongst the fellowship on the way to Mordor or perhaps come face to face with a witch. The truth is, though our imaginations may run wild when out amongst nature, it may not be so far off.
With just 7% of UK woodlands in good ecological condition and ancient woodlands now covering just 2.5% of the country, Kent Wildlife Trust launches an urgent fundraising appeal to save one of Britain's most precious habitats.
Our woodlands are the lifeblood of our county, our country, and our planet. Donate to Wilder Blean: Wilder Woodlands between the 2nd and 9th December to double your impact!

Chalk grassland – also known as chalk downland or lowland calcareous grassland – is an increasingly rare habitat and one of the richest in Western Europe. In England, it’s mostly found on the North Downs but there are also patches scattered along the East Kent coast.
