Wildlife charities are asking people in Kent to count the number of insects splattered on their number plate to help experts fully understand local insect populations.

The Fifth Continent Landscape Conservation Scheme, led by Kent Wildlife Trust, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and made possible by National Lottery players, are inviting Romney Marsh residents to make a real difference to local wildlife.

Kent Wildlife Trust’s Down to Earth project in Romney Marsh has been given £140,065 of National Lottery funding from Sport England to help local volunteers make a positive contribution to their community using sport and activity.

The Wildlife Trusts have published ‘Volunteering: A Natural Health Service’ a report examining the effects of volunteering on mental health.

In 2011 the idea of reintroducing water voles to Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve was first suggested and now, three years later, we are delighted to have recently reintroduced fifty of them.

This month Volunteers from Kent Wildlife Trust (KWT), Kentish Stour Countryside Partnership (KSCP) and The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) Wild Crew, supported by the Heritage Lottery and Wye Parish Council completed a mass clear up along the River Stour.

Congratulations are in order for Bredhurst Woodland Action Group (BWAG), winners of the Richard Neame Local Wildlife Site Award 2014 for their significant contribution to nature conservation in Kent.
