Do something incredible to protect Kent’s wildlife

We are facing unprecedented climate and nature crises. In the UK, species are declining at an alarming rate, and human management alone is insufficient to create the necessary habitats for wildlife. Global evidence shows that “wilder” approaches to conservation offer the most effective solutions to these crises. 

With a gift in your Will, you become a crucial part of this vision. Your legacy will help us protect wild places, provide a lifeline to species under threat, give local people opportunities to experience wildlife, and ensure that Kent’s natural beauty endures for future generations.  

Gifts in Wills are a powerful way to contribute to the restoration and protection of precious habitats. Without these important gifts, we would not be able to create a Wilder Kent, where nature and people thrive together. 

With your help today, we can deliver a better tomorrow.

Write a Free Will

The future is too much to be left to chance. That is why making a Will is one of the most important jobs any of us has to do.

I am sure that, like me, you are concerned about the future of our planet. You too share a belief that it is important we leave a thriving natural world for future generations to know and enjoy.

Your support for Kent Wildlife Trust will help ensure that our children and grandchildren can continue to enjoy the wonders of nature.

The difference your gift makes

For over 65 years we’ve been working together to safeguard wildlife and wild spaces. By restoring habitat, protecting against development and damage, and investing in native species. It is only thanks to our dedicated supporters that we’ve achieved so much.  

Over 20% of our annual income comes from gifts in Wills. These vital gifts allow us to:  

  • Manage over 9000 acres across the county
  • Introduce new ways of promoting biodiversity through the Wilder Grazing programme 
  • Build rafts, islands, and protect ground nesting birds 
  • Run a successful school's outreach programme, helping children and young people learn to love nature
  • Support our farmers to yield sustainable crops while leveraging the power of nature and biodiversity
  • Protect ancient habitats and at-risk species from development

Transformational legacies are woven into the very fabric of Kent Wildlife Trust. Our first major legacy from Mr N. C. Fuller allowed us to purchase the 42- hectare South Swale Reserve, and since this day we have continued to be remembered in the Wills of nature lovers across Kent.
