We are a community group standing up for nature and trying to protect the wildlife of Betteshanger Country Park. It is a site where wildlife is flourishing but where planning permission has been granted for a luxury hotel and surf lagoon.

Here in East Kent over 1000 common lizards were moved to Betteshanger Park for their long term protection. They are now in the way of a surf lagoon and will be translocated again disrupting their feeding and breeding cycles.Why is this allowed?

At Betteshanger Park in Kent there are plans to translocate over 600 lizard orchids from the second most important colony in the UK. They are in the way of a proposed surf lagoon. A colony of Fiery Clearwing moths is also in the way so their larval food plant curled dock will also be translocated.
