Since 1912 The Wildlife Trusts have been speaking out for nature in the UK. Our organisation is unique – whilst most of our work for wildlife takes place at local grassroots level, we have a UK voice.

Believing that wildlife is essential to a healthy environment for human beings, we work with people from all walks of life – industry, government, landowners, communities and families – to make sure nature gets a chance The Wildlife Trusts campaign for better protection of our precious wildlife and habitats, raising the awareness of the public and government to wildlife threats is central to our role.

Through monitoring and collecting data, we demonstrate an accurate picture of habitats and species that need our protection and we have developed a reputation for our objectivity and knowledge.

The specialist skills and enthusiasm of our volunteers and the vast experience of our conservationists enables The Wildlife Trusts to manage hundreds of projects, campaigns and organise thousands of activities. Over the years our work has made a lasting difference to UK wildlife, including the Otters and Rivers Project, the water quality project Riverwatch and the dormouse re-introduction programme.
