returns for 2025

2024 was the biggest year yet for the Wilder Kent Awards – with 87 winning groups, including 18 Gold winners! Over 16,000 people were recorded as having taken positive action for nature as part of the Wilder Kent Awards and we’re hoping these numbers will continue to grow in 2025.
