Kent Wildlife Trust is asking supporters to help support and expand its Wilder Grazing programme through the Big Give Earth Raise challenge - with every donation DOUBLED for one week only. The match funding goes live from midday today (22 April).
Kent Wildlife Trust has taken the difficult decision to temporarily remove its Highland cattle from Hothfield Heathlands nature reserve, after sustained visitor pressure in the wake of viral social media content made it impossible for the animals to carry out their conservation grazing role safely.
With our Amazing Grazing appeal putting the spotlight on our grazers, let's explore exactly what conservation grazing is and the impact it has.
Hear from four of our amazing livestock checkers. Some have been part of the team for many years, and others just a few months.
Liz & Steve Dallison have been involved with KWT since 2010 and begun livestock checking around 4 years ago. In this blog, they talk about the best bits and challenges the work brings!
With biodiversity in rapid decline, the charity is racing to raise £120,000 by April - harnessing the power of animals to restore vital wildlife habitats.
Recent changes to UK livestock protection laws are welcome news for nature – and for the conservation grazing animals that play a vital role in caring for Kent’s landscapes.
Kent Wildlife Trust is urging visitors to Hothfield Heathlands nature reserve to keep a safe distance from its highland cattle, following a surge in visitor numbers linked to viral social media content.
We have smashed our £120k target and thanks to your help, we've unlocked an incredible £131,415 overall for Amazing Grazing! Whether you donated through the Big Give or otherwise, we have been blown away by your support - thank you.
One of the many benefits of using grazing livestock in conservation management is that they produce dung. Their dung acts in various ways to enhance the landscape and provides benefits for a range of organisms that would otherwise be excluded in a machinery-based site management scheme.
