    Our fundraising film screening of Wildling on 8th February was a huge success.

    We packed out the beautiful Woolpack barn with a full house. It was an inspiring and uplifting evening and a chance for us to showcase our part of the wildling movement.

    Hundreds of pounds were raised and will go towards our exciting projects in 2025. Watch this space!

  • Image of pesticide spraying - Tenterden Wildlife have secured  NO SPRAY POLICY IN THE TOWN CENTRE

    Going Chemical-free

    We have taken a big step towards our ambition to omit all chemical spraying on local green spaces by securing agreement from KCC, TTC and ABC to omit chemical spraying to green areas within the town centre.

    Our ongoing focus is to expand this to secondary roads. Volunteers are collecting evidence to support alternative strategies and we are awaiting results from a KCC pilot using nature-friendly alternatives.

    Find out more about the broader issues of pesticide use in UK towns here.

  • Tenterden Wildlife at Tenterden Gold Course sowing seeds

    Wildflower Sowing

    The team have been busy at Tenterden Golf Course sowing wildflower seeds.

    The wildflowers will not only look beautiful come spring and summer, but critically, they will provide vital food for local pollinator populations.

    If you’d like to volunteer for our next planting day then get in touch! We’d love to hear from you.
