Wildlife & Nature in the Kent Downs
No matter what is happening in the world around us mother nature is always there, bringing new wonder in every single season.
We're working with local experts who can help bring the natural world to life and share their passion for our Kentish flora and fauna with you. We hope that soon you and your friends and family will be able to learn more about the wonderful wildlife around us and explain how you and future generations can help protect it from the growing danger of climate change.
