Public consultation events

Across the eight week consultation period, there will be a number of opportunities to hear about the Strategy and speak to members of the team.

In the first few weeks we’ll be holding a number of online briefings, each aimed at a specific sector – these start on 20th January and run until 4th February.  The briefings are open to all but you’ll need to register to receive the online event link.  Details are below.

The Making Space for Nature team will also be setting up at various locations around the county, so you can drop in at your convenience and discuss the Strategy in person.  Keep checking back as dates will be added during the course of the consultation as new opportunities arise for us to come out and meet you.  See below for details of when we’ll be visiting your area.

If you have an event or meeting you would like us to attend, please contact the team on makingspacefornature@kent.gov.uk
