High Street
The yellow rattle and crimson clover the Tenterden Wildlife team seeded in the autumn and early spring are already flowering on the High Street lawns in Tenterden.
Adding beauty to the High Street and creating vital food for pollinators.
We hope local residents will be inspired to add wildflowers to their gardens too!

Creating a Wilder Kent
Wilder Kent Awards recognise and reward communities that are restoring nature. We have been working with Kent Wildlife Trust to engage towns and villages to take part in creating a wilder Kent and to apply for the 2024 awards. In partnership with Kent Wildlife Trust, we have helped to create this awareness video.

Positive Wildlife News
We were delighted to hear the announcement of two new laws that will protect and support British wildlife.
Hedgerows, which provide vital habitats, are to be protected by law.
Legislation now demands that all new building developments must leave the environment in a better state than it was before, with a 10% net gain increase in biodiversity.
