We welcome the support of Kent's communities with these campaigns - together we can work to protect wildlife now and into the future.

Speak up for nature
Join our mailing list to get involved in our latest campaigns and find out how you can speak up for nature.
Defend Nature
The government’s plan to revoke post-Brexit regulations will see 570 laws surrounding habitat protection, water quality and sewage pollution scrapped in December 2023. The plans not only put wildlife and public health at risk, but also renege on the government’s pledge to halt the decline of nature by 2030.
We are asking for people to write to their MP to ask them to put a stop to these harmful changes to legislation. People can also sign up to receive news and updates from the Trust.

Lower Thames Crossing
The Lower Thames Crossing is a proposed new road which will connect Kent with Essex by tunnelling beneath the River Thames estuary. Kent Wildlife Trust is opposed to these plans as they will result in the loss of irreplaceable ancient woodland.

Action for Insects
41% of insect species face extinction, driven mainly by loss of habitat and pesticide overuse. By working together, we can change the future of insects. Starting right now, you can make small changes in your home, lifestyle and community that will help these fascinating creatures.
Rethink Sea Link
Tell the National Gid to "Rethink Sea Link" a development proposed for the internationally important National Nature Reserve at Pegwell Bay, We support renewable energy, but it should not be at the cost of nature, especially when there are other viable alternatives.

Betteshanger Country Park
Two new planning applications for a hotel and a surf pool seriously threaten the ability of this ecological mitigation to be effective and would put even further strain on the precious habitats and species that rely on this site for their survival.

Save Oaken Wood
Help Save Oaken Wood! This quarry extension is one of the biggest threats of the 21st century - having already destroyed 32ha of ancient wood in 2013, new quarry plans threaten at least another 50ha.
