Respecting Nature on Our Reserves

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.

Dogs on our reserves

We welcome dogs to many of our reserves to enjoy the scenery and get some exercise. We simply ask responsible dog owners to be mindful of wildlife and please keep dogs on leads. Learn more about walking dogs on our reserves here.

Wilder Blean Code of Conduct

With bison, Exmoor ponies, iron-age pigs and longhorn cattle now at the West Blean Woods, we ask that you do a few things to protect animal welfare while out on our reserve.

Watching Seals Safely

The UK is home to over a third of the world’s grey seal population. A globally rare species resident in Great Britain, grey seals are the equivalent of an African elephant. What’s more, harbour seals are in alarming decline.

Our drone use policy

At Kent Wildlife Trust, the protection of wildlife, habitats, and visitor experience is our top priority. To that end, the use of drones (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) on our nature reserves is strictly controlled.
