What is a Nature Hero?
This COP28 season, we want to celebrate those on the ground who are doing their part in fighting the climate and nature crises.
These Nature Heroes, those individuals or groups based in Kent who are taking action for nature, are also inspiring those around them to make an impact.
Over the next few weeks, we'll be introducing you to a range of Nature Heroes across Kent, from our very own Kent Wildlife Trust staff and volunteers to wildlife champions we work with across the county.
