Roadside Nature Reserve practical volunteer
Kent Wildlife Trust
Help our Roadside Nature Reserve teams with the important management and surveying of road verges in Kent
The Roadside Nature Reserve (RNR) project was founded in 1994, is funded by Kent County Council (KCC) and has just under 150 RNRs throughout Kent. Most of these verges are managed by KCC, the ones that are safe to work on are managed by three volunteer groups that cover the county. These verges are fantastic wildlife corridors that help to connect habitats so that species can move through the landscape. They also provide protection for important species and habitats. The sensitive management of our top priority RNRs is not possible without volunteer help, with a lot of sites to cover in a year the more volunteers we have the better! Tasks you will be doing will include: Litter picking • Cutting & raking grassland • Scrub regrowth control • Putting up signs & posts • Botanical & general surveys • Orchid counting
