Visiting our reserves
General guidance for visiting our nature reserves so you can make sure you have a great time while respecting wildlife and leaving the habitat in the best possible state.
Seeing wildlife can be incredible, but it can be hard to know what to do in certain situations. Maybe you have come across an injured or dead animal, or maybe you suspect that a crime has been committed. Our wildlife advice pages will help you know what to do and who to contact if you do find yourself in these situations.

It is only through recording wildlife that we can see when changes happen in our environment, whether this occurs in our towns or the countryside.
While the vast majority of people who visit our reserves, do so respectfully, we have seen an increase in anti-social behaviour. Please help us by reporting damage to us immediately and if you see anything suspicious, call the police.
Seals can be disturbed if people or dogs get too close, cause too much noise, or startle them. Disturbance can happen from the land, sea, and air - so we need to watch them with caution.
Kent Wildlife Trust has produced a set of habitat management advice leaflets, funded by Arcadia. These can be downloaded below.
