The North West Kent Countryside Partnership operates in the boroughs of Bexley, Dartford, Gravesham and Sevenoaks. It works to conserve and enhance the wildlife, landscape and cultural heritage of the countryside in both a rural and urban context. In addition, it encourages appropriate access to the wider countryside, promoting greater respect and understanding where opportunities exist.

The Partnership's activities include providing guidance and advice to landowners, local communities, parish council's, schools and local user groups amongst many others, to develop, plan and implement wildlife and landscape improvements. NWKCP is also able to help individuals and groups access and apply for grant aid to carry out these projects, and is able to assist farmers in the AONB apply to national schemes such as the new Environmental Stewardship scheme. In addition it administers its own Landscape Enhancement Grant scheme for small-scale projects.

NWKCP also runs a highly successful Free Tree Scheme (closing date for applications on 31 October each year), and provides up to twenty-five native trees completely free of charge to individuals or groups wishing to enhance the landscape. A leaflet and application form is available from the NWKCP office.

For those wishing to actively participate in conservation work, NWKCP runs a volunteer group every Wednesday and Thursday to carry out small-scale projects. These vary from hedgelaying to pond creation to woodland management and can be carried out by all abilities.
