Fant Nature Reserve

The Fant Wildlife Group is a charity of volunteers from the local community. The group was started in 1996 to manage an area of abandoned allotment gardens close to the town centre of Maidstone, now known as Fant Nature Reserve. The aim of the Fant Wildlife Group is to maintain and diversify the wildlife at Fant Nature Reserve, to encourage educational use and local involvement. Work is continuing to create a diversity of habitats for wildlife on the site by building ponds, planting native trees and plants, and to encourage use of the site by the community.
