There are benches to sit and ponder on, streams to hear flowing, native wildflowers, trees for children to scramble over, a budding orchard, wildlife and birds. The group was started in 1996 to manage an area of abandoned allotment gardens close to the town centre of Maidstone. The aim of the Fant Wildlife Group is to maintain and diversify the wildlife in the Fant Wildlife Area, to encourage educational use and local involvement. Work is continuing to create a diversity of habitats for wildlife on the site by building ponds, planting native trees and plants, and to encourage use of the site by the community.
