The Jeffrey Harrison Visitor Centre at Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve, located on Bradbourne Road, attracts thousands of visitors each year but is in urgent need of modernisation. The building is named after Jeffrey Harrison who was the leading vision behind the creation of the wetlands and surrounding woodland at Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve. As a former gravel pit, the reserve was the first such site to be rewilded creating the haven for nature that has over 2,000 species recorded on site.  The upgrades aim to provide an ideal base for educational activities, study days, holiday clubs, and family visits as well as providing an ongoing haven for wildlife with opportunities to see the impact of wilding on the former gravel pit.
