🌱 Nature & Conservation
Updates from Kent County Council, Kent Country Parks 🦋🐝

A huge thank you to our volunteers,
including teams from libraries and the Lower
Thames Crossing project, who helped
complete biodiversity enhancement planting.
This important work provides connecting
corridors across the whole site to provide
shelter for small mammals, food for pollinators and to increase the resilience of
the woodland to climate change. Find out what else is happening in your parks in this Spring newsletter 🌼
