Eric Philp, Keeper of Natural History at Maidstone Museum, 1958-1993, former President and Honorary member of the Kent Field Club died on 8th January 2013 aged 82.

In 1974, Kent Field Club held a symposium on the then Hothfield Local Nature Reserve. This dealt with the site's history, geology, soils, biology and conservation management, and resulted in a series of papers which formed Volume 5, part 3 of the Transactions of the Kent Field Club, published in 1975.

Our first print run of the New Atlas of the Kent Flora has now sold out.  It is likely that we will print another batch, so register your interest with us and we will add you to the list.

This year the aim of the conference will be to look at the current status of the flora and fauna of north-west Kent.
