Wildwood

EP Sponsor Profile 2018-19

About

Wildwood’s history can be traced back to the 1970s when it was a woodland nature reserve which grew into a small wildlife park in a woodland setting. In 2002 it became known as Wildwood Trust. The Trust has grown considerably in this time and is now one of the largest charities in Kent.

Wildwood is committed to improving conditions for wildlife throughout the UK. Our mission is to safeguard populations of endangered species in the UK, bring back recently extinct species such as the beaver to suitable habitats in Britain, and raise awareness about wildlife conservation through education initiatives at our wildlife park.
