WELCOME

North Kent is experiencing much growth and regeneration. It is an area full of history with diverse and internationally valuable landscapes, such as mudflats and grazing marsh vital for overwintering birds, rolling chalk grasslands which are home to orchids and skylarks, and pockets of ancient woodland.  

Greening the Gateway Kent and Medway is a partnership of
public, private and charitable organisations which is committed to work together to enhance and protect the natural environment for the benefit of people and wildlife, making North Kent a great place to live, work, invest and relax.

Some of the partnership's achievements over the past three years are listed below.
