First snow of the season. #KentDowns #Kent

UPDATE: We recently wrote to the government asking for Greensand Ridge and the Len Valley to be incorporated into the Kent Downs National Landscape. See the response here #DontMessWithMaidstone #NationalLandscape #NatureRecovery #KentDowns #30by30

🌿 A Very Interesting Site Meeting on the Kent Downs yesterday! 🌿From @therealdavidwi1 I spent the day with the fantastic team from the Kent Downs National Landscape — an independent organisation, part-funded and supported by Kent County Council — seeing first-hand the incredible work they do protecting and enhancing one of our county’s greatest assets. Along with Dean Burns Here’s the most interesting part… Despite what some might claim, rescinding the so-called “climate emergency” will make absolutely no difference to their delivery. In fact, it means KCC can help them more effectively by cutting through layers of red tape and focusing on practical environmental outcomes rather than political posturing. Such a shame that our own FHDC continues to pursue this unachievable “net zero” crusade, burning through your council tax in the process. I’d love to know just how much the Green–Liberal alliance has already spent chasing something that simply cannot be achieved in the real world. Real progress comes from action on the ground, not slogans in a motion. #KentDowns #KCC #Environment #CommonSense #KentCountryside #RealActionNotPosturing

Some highlights from the weekend bug hunting in the Kent downs with @kelly_jowett, @Rothamsted_RIS and @kentdowns6. Great green bush crickets, wasp spiders, Cerceris quadricincta and Ectophasia crassipennis! All in a day's work! #kentdowns #bughunting

Wow! From stewart_mckeown over on IG. ・・・ Canterbury, Kent An image I shot last year on a wonderful morning spent overlooking Canterbury. The valley was engulfed in a thick fog when I arrived before dawn but as the sun rose behind the Cathedral, it burnt through the atmosphere to slowly reveal the city’s landmarks. #canterbury #canterburycathedral #kent #kentcountryside #marlowetheatre #mist #mistylandscape #cloudinversion #telephotolandscape #nikontop #igerskent #capturingbritain #seisbest #ukpotd #kentdowns #visitengland #kentlife #visitkent #england

✨ Last night #WinterSolstice occurred at 3:27am in the UK, making this the shortest day of the year! This is because the North Pole is tilted farthest away from the sun, resulting in the sun appearing at its lowest point in the sky at noon. 📸 @explorekent #KentDowns
