Wilder Kent Blog

During Volunteers’ Week 2017 we want to take the opportunity to showcase the amazing things that our volunteers do to make Kent a better place for wildlife and for people.

Local Wildlife Site volunteer trainee Christine Davison reflects on the experience of her traineeship with Kent Wildlife Trust.

Do you still feel like hibernating through to the end of winter? You would be in good company with many animals and invertebrates on Hothfield Heathland. However, a walk out there at this time of year is exhilarating and you won’t be alone.

Our Ashford Meadows Project Officer Camilla Blackburn shares how small sites can really make a difference to wildlife.

Our Ashford Meadows Project Officer, Camilla Blackburn writes about a corporate volunteering day at Hothfield Heathlands.

Kent Wildlife Trust’s Big Lottery funded three year project, Painting The Town Green is currently working with the local community in Newington near Ramsgate to invigorate the green spaces at St Christopher Church. Anna Morell, who works with the Project, visited the community to see what they are going wild about in early Summer.
