The Mid Kent Downs Countryside Partnership forms part of a network of Countryside Management Partnerships covering most of Kent. The Partnership provides support and advice for countryside conservation work in the central part of the Kent Downs AONB.

The partnership has supported development of several community initiatives throughout the Mid Kent Downs, some of whom have their own websites:

Bredhurst Woods Action Group

Heaths Countryside Corridor

Walderslade Woods

Lynsted Community Orchard

Gorham & Admirals Community Woodlands

Scragged Oak Viewpoint & Horish Wood, Detling
