About Kent Wildlife Trust
Join us in creating a Wilder Kent
Who we are
Kent Wildlife Trust is the leading conservation charity for the county of Kent.
Our vision is for a better, wilder future. We engage with politicians, business leaders, landowners and communities so we can all work together to protect wildlife.
How we're run
The governance and strategic leadership of Kent Wildlife Trust is overseen by a board of voluntary trustees. Our trustees are all elected from our membership and bring a range of experience and expertise to the organisation.
How we're funded
Our work to save wildlife and wild places, as well as bring people closer to nature, relies on the financial support of our members and donors. Much of our income comes from our members - and we are grateful to every one of you for supporting Kent Wildlife Trust. Thank you.
We care about wildlife
Wildlife is in crisis. The natural world isn't just something for us to enjoy; it sustains us. The decline of nature puts our very survival and prosperity under threat.
It doesn't have to be like this; if we act now, we can restore nature by creating:
- Wilder towns & cities
- Wilder woodlands & grasslands
- Wilder rivers
- Wilder coasts & seas
