With our Amazing Grazing appeal putting the spotlight on our grazers, let's explore exactly what conservation grazing is and the impact it has.

Join a guided Walk with a Warden at Hothfield Heathlands this spring.

We are into full nesting season including the birds who nest on the ground or very low down in scrub, which is over half of Britain’s breeding species including the stonechat, robin, blackbird, skylark, yellow hammer, tree pipit and chiff chaff, not to mention the migrants such as whitethroats who will arrive from the South in May.

Each month since October 2024 we have been part of a team of Kent Wildlife Trust volunteers monitoring the diversity and abundance of a select groups of invertebrates (mayfly larvae, caddis fly larvae and freshwater shrimp on the River Darent).

Kent Wildlife Trust has taken the difficult decision to temporarily remove its Highland cattle from Hothfield Heathlands nature reserve, after sustained visitor pressure in the wake of viral social media content made it impossible for the animals to carry out their conservation grazing role safely.

BeeWalk Volunteer

I have been a BeeWalk volunteer with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust (BBCT) since 2024. I have also been a Kent Wildlife Trust volunteer joining the Pine Marten project at Bedgebury in 2025. I live near Queendown Warren and the South East Area Manager (BBCT) was interested in how a chalk cliff area traditionally managed for butterflies supported bumblebees in this rare habitat.
