An ever-changing woodland. Home to European bison as part of the Wilder Blean project.
Kent Wildlife Trust manages over 90 nature reserves across the county, boasting a diverse range of habitats and species. To help you know where to start, we've assembled some of our top recommended reserves to visit.
We want our reserves to be enjoyed by all. As well as being home to an abundance of wildlife, including rare and declining species, our natural spaces should be a place where you can wander, exercise, and enjoy all of the wellbeing benefits that being outside has to offer. Please help us look after our reserves by following the guidance you can see on signage across the reserves and treating the site with respect. You can find more information below.
