Nature's Sure Connected - 'Bugs Matter!' volunteers needed
Take part in this survey to help Kent Wildlife Trust understand wildlife declines: Recent scientific research has shown that in Europe, flying insects have declined by 75%.

These are very worrying statistics, not only for insects but also for the huge number plants and animals (including humans) that depend on them for food, pollination and other essential functions. We need to act now to understand what is happening to them and work towards a Wilder Kent. By counting the insects that get squished on the number plate of your car, you can help us assess the insect trends and the productivity of ecosystems in Kent.
