restoring and
connecting nature
across Kent
Chalk to Coast is a visionary landscape scale project working to create a nature recovery corridor across Kent.
Our mission is to reverse biodiversity loss, improve climate resilience and support nature-friendly farming. Supporting farmers, communities and businesses to create a greener, more sustainable future – one which benefits both nature and people
Climate change, fragmentation and habitat loss means the wildlife we depend upon is in decline
The UK as a whole has some of the highest rates of biodiversity loss in the world. Whilst Kent is blessed with one of the highest levels of biodiversity in the country, due to the variety of habitats found here, these habitats are under threat. Vulnerable to the worst effects of climate change, fragmented by development and carved up by the M20 and M2, the wildlife which we depend upon is in decline.
By connecting habitats through a county-wide nature corridor, we can reverse this loss
Taking good care of nature has wider resonance than we may first think. We rely upon nature to produce the food which nourishes us, and for our mental and physical wellbeing. Even the economy depends upon the natural world, with The World Economic Forum Global Risk Report demonstrating that five out of ten top risks to our economies in the next ten years are associated with nature. Quite simply: we depend upon nature, and nature needs our help.
Chalk to Coast is creating a county-wide nature recovery corridor for wildlife to travel between, with the aim to restore wildlife while improving climate resilience.
Our approach brings together farmers, conservationists, and investors, working together to deliver nature restoration projects which support economic growth, sustainable food production, and climate action.
This is an opportunity to shape a better future—where nature, people, and enterprise thrive together.
2030 Targets
1 million people connected to nature through access to green spaces, community engagement and education.
20% of land for nature, enhancing habitats and supporting survival of rare and endangered species.
£200m invested in nature recovery and climate resilience.

Our partners
Are you a farmer, landowner or steward of land? Let’s start a conversation.
Our strength is in the power of like minded people working together to create a bigger, better, more joined up solution to nature regeneration than any of us could manage alone. By supporting one another, much like a farming super-cluster, we can increase our understanding of biodiversity, natural capital and green finance and make better decisions together.
Founding Partners
Chalk to Coast is farmer and land-manager led, ensuring that long-term stewards of the land drive the vision forward. Our founding partners represent expertise in conservation, sustainable land use, regenerative farming, and environmental design.
