It’s officially a really wild summer, and we want all of Kent to get outdoors, soak up some sun and enjoy some of Kent’s incredible wildlife and wild places at our amazing summer events. From family outdoor yoga to super safaris (with a chance of seeing our newest Blean bison residents), there’s something for the whole family to enjoy in Kent this summer holiday.
1st June saw the much-anticipated launch of Bugs Matter 2022, the annual national insect survey led by Kent Wildlife Trust and Buglife.
