Kent Wildlife Trust is celebrating the remarkable recovery of Kentish milkwort (Polygala amarella) after a seven-fold population increase saw 1,245 self-sown plants recorded this year at Queendown Warren near Sittingbourne, now the largest population of the species in the UK.

This recovery is the result of a long-term conservation project led by Kent Wildlife Trust in partnership with The Species Recovery Trust, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and local volunteers. The programme was established after the species declined to just a handful of plants across three sites in Kent.
