Wilder Kent 2030

Nature is in crisis and our #WilderKent 2030 Strategy sets out how we can work together to save it.

Our three key goals

We will achieve this 2030 vision by meeting three key goals. Find out more below:

Goal 1 - We defend and restore

We'll continue to develop nature-based land management practices, while giving wildlife a voice through our campaigns and communications. Target: Double the area of land and sea under nature-positive Kent Wildlife Trust ownership, management and influence.

Goal 2 - We inspire and collaborate

We cannot deliver #WilderKent 2030 on our own. To inspire others, we will increase our engagement with communities, businesses and stakeholders to reach a larger, more diverse range of people. Target: Inspire 25% of Kent’s population to take meaningful action for a #WilderKent.

Goal 3 - We strengthen and grow

We will innovate through continual learning from national and international best practice, and create and share it. This will allow us to become a more resilient, demonstrably impactful and sustainable organisation. Target: Diversify our income sources and strengthen our systems to reduce operational greenhouse gas emissions.
