Wilder Kent Safari: Autumn at Hothfield

As the seasons change, so does the flora and fauna of Hothfield Heathlands. Meet the Reserve Warden to discover the fungi and migratory birds abundant as the days shorten and the temperature drops.

You'll end the walk by lighting a fire to toast some snacks to enjoy as you look in more detail at the species you discussed during the walk.

This safari is aimed at an adult audience, 14-17 year olds may attend with an accompanying adult over 18. Hoping to bring the children? Family Wildlife Watch Safaris are available during school holidays, see https://www.kentwildlifetrust.org.uk/safaris for availability.

This safari will last approximately 4 hours and most of the time will be spent walking or standing. Much of the route follows surfaced paths, but these can be muddy. Ensure you wear sturdy footwear (during periods of wet weather waterproof footwear is advisable) and clothing suitable for the weather conditions.

Please note there are no toilet facilities at the reserve, and no refreshments are available to purchase on site. Campfire snacks will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own food and drink with you. A bottle of water is recommended.

Parking is available at Hothfield Heathlands, there is a 2m height barrier at the entrance.
