Goal 1 - We defend and restore
We'll continue to develop nature-based land management practices, while giving wildlife a voice through our campaigns and communications.
Action and Innovation for nature
Nature is in crisis. We must take bold action to restore and protect our wildlife and wild spaces for future generations. Will you help?
Kent Wildlife Trust is the county’s leading conservation charity, driving innovation to fight the climate and nature crises. We have over 32,000 members and volunteers, manage over 9,000 acres of land and influence much more. Together with our partners, supporters and grazing animals, we transform habitats, restore and protect species and bring ecosystems back to life across the county and beyond, to benefit wildlife and people.
What we do in Kent
We want to restore 30% of land and sea by 2030 through our Wilder Kent 2030 strategy
Goal 2 - We inspire and collaborate
We cannot deliver #WilderKent 2030 on our own. To inspire others, we will increase our engagement with communities, businesses and stakeholders to reach a larger, more diverse range of people.
Goal 3 - We strengthen and grow
We will innovate through continual learning from national and international best practice, and create and share it. This will allow us to become a more resilient, demonstrably impactful and sustainable organisation.
