Chalk streams are among the most precious and rare freshwater ecosystems on Earth, which we are so lucky to enjoy across Kent. They are characterised by their crystal-clear, mineral-rich waters, filtered through ancient chalk bedrock, which support a unique array of wildlife. Despite their global rarity and ecological value, these rivers are still not recognised as irreplaceable habitats within planning policy.

Kent Wildlife Trust, alongside other regional Wildlife Trusts and The Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts, as part of the Save Our Chalk Streams Movement, have issued an urgent open letter to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, Steve Reed.

Look after your wellbeing with an evening of nature connection, inspired by the light, energy, and abundance of the summer solstice. Zoë from Ostara Nature Connection will guide an online session exploring the art of nature connection through this seasonal turning point. You’ll take inspiration from the longest day of the year a time of warmth, growth, and vitality to deepen your awareness of the natural world around you.

A great place for the press to keep up to date with the latest stories, research, projects and challenges as we work to tackle the climate and nature crisis.
