The county has as wide a range of natural habitats, wild flowers and wildlife as anywhere in Britain. It has more ancient woodland and more species of wild orchid than any other county. Its wild places range from flower-studded valleys in the Downs to a genuine desert at Dungeness. Brynmor Green here describes some of these features which make Kent so attractive to all those who love the countryside.

He is now Vice- President of the Kent Wildlife Trust and a member of the National Trust Regional Committee.
