Projects and services
We take an active role in protecting our wildlife and
landscape.
This section highlights some of the key projects and
services that we help to deliver and gives you details on
how to access these services.
ARCH project
Our aim is to improve the way in which key species and natural
habitats are maintained, restored and expanded in Kent and the Nord
Pas de Calais Region in France.
For full information have a look at our ARCH project page.
Countryside Management Partnerships
We support seven Countryside Management Partnerships (CMPs)
across the county. CMPs are a collective of organisations run to
help manage habitat and landscapes and link communities to those
areas. Have a look at the CMP web
pages.
Kent Biodiversity Partnership
The Kent Biodiversity Partnership is a wide, voluntary
partnership formed of every partner participating in the
development and delivery of the Kent Biodiversity Action Plan.
For full details look at the Kent Biodiversity Partnership
website.
Business and Biodiversity (project completed)
The Business and biodiversity project raised awareness amongst
businesses that want to promote biodiversity, and provided advice
to businesses wishing to know more.
The project was funded and supported by Kent County Council,
South East England Development Agency (SEEDA), English Nature, Kent
Sustainable Business Partnership and Ashford's Future.
The project is now formally completed, but guidance and other
information is still available to help you and your business play a
part in promoting biodiversity in Kent:
BRANCH (project completed)
Biodiversity Requires
Adaptation in Northwest
Europe under a CHanging climate
(BRANCH) was a three year INTERREG III funded project, held
between 2004 and 2007.
The BRANCH project promoted the importance of adapting to
climate change using spatial planning systems. Kent County
Council was a partner in the BRANCH project and carried out a
terrestrial biodiversity case study, working to evaluate the
effects of climate change on key habitats and related species.
BRANCH project results, can help us learn more about creating
robust ecological corridors and networks to benefit Kent's
wildlife. Have a look at the
