Brenchley Wood
Brenchley Wood in Pembury is home to majestic beech and oak trees and pockets of heathland habitat. These areas of heath represent a rare habitat for Kent; over 80% of British lowland heath has been lost since 1800, so it is vital that we afford this unique habitat the protection it deserves.
The rich woodland at Brenchley Wood provides food and shelter to hundreds of plants and animals, including familiar woodland birds such as woodpeckers, tits, treecreepers and goldcrests. Mature oak trees support an array of beetles and fungi, and sunny rides attract colourful red admirals and peacock butterflies.
Woodlands cover a mere 2.5% of the UK. It is crucial that we do everything we can to protect the invaluable woodlands that we have left. Please help us to ensure that Brenchley Wood remains a part of Kent’s wild legacy by sponsoring a quarter acre or more today.
