Sevenoaks Area Green Team
Kent Wildlife Trust
Join this roving team to help improve and maintain an array of nationally important habitats in the Darenth area.
Why do we need you? We are a dedicated team of weather worn volunteers, roving the Darenth area, going wherever the work needs to be done. The roving nature of the team means that we visit different sites each week which vary between wetland, chalk grassland to woodland and bogland habitats. The diversity of sites and locations across the west side of the county gives a broad variety of volunteering opportunities all year round. Without this roving team some of the best wildlife habitat in the Darenth area would soon be lost as it requires continual effort to maintain them. Many of the reserves sit within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or have special designations due to the rare species you can find there. A day in your life might include You can expect to be carrying out: - scrub bashing, - coppicing, - fence repairs, - clearing and maintaining footpaths and managing glades. - In summer we also carry out wildlife surveys.
