Kent Wildlife Trust

Who we are

Kent Wildlife Trust is one of the largest of the 47 Wildlife Trusts, which together make up the Wildlife Trusts Partnership. We are supported and governed by our 32,000 members and have the simple aim of protecting Kent's wildlife for the future. To this end, we own or manage some 65 nature reserves. We campaign and lobby politicians, decision makers and landowners to ensure site protection and good habitat management, and we run a full programme of education work with schools, colleges and adult groups. The Trust also has three Visitor Centres.

We operate from our headquarters at Tyland Barn, just north of Maidstone. Over 100 professional and support staff work within teams including Estates; Conservation, Delivery & Partnership; Conservation Policy & Evidence, People Engagement; Marketing and Fundraising; and Finance and Support Services.
