Conserving Canterburys habitats
The historic Canterbury city, coast and countryside is home to seventeen sites that have been specially noted for national or international importance for wildlife; including parts of the North Kent Marshes to the west of Whitstable, to the grassland and wetland east of Herne Bay and the great belt of Blean Woodland between the city and the coast.

We are also home to 45 Local Wildlife Sites of county importance, and many more important habitats and species that don't live in protected nature reserves. We are involved with the Breathing Places scheme because it helps to promote protection and connection of these vitally important spaces for wildlife, by undertaking practical work and making spaces for nature accessible to local people.
