About Us

The KNP was awarded Local Nature Partnership (LNP) status by the government in July 2012 to drive positive change in the local natural environment.

The Partnership takes a strategic view of the challenges and opportunities involved in managing the natural environment as a system benefiting biodiversity, people and the local economy.  The KNP enables a diverse range of organisations to work in partnership and to make the best use of their available resources in order to achieve significant gains for Kent’s biodiversity.

Across 2023 – 25 the partnership supported development of the Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) for Kent & Medway. The KNP now has oversight for strategic delivery of the LNRS.
