Each of the 47 Wildlife Trusts is an independent, autonomous charity with its own trustees, whose primary concern is the conservation of nature within its own geographical area.
Local Trusts are split into regions; a single Trust covers Scotland; Wales has six Trusts which work increasingly closely together; there are Trusts for Ulster, the Isle of Man, Alderney and the Isles of Scilly and 36 Trusts across England largely based on the old county boundaries or small groupings of such counties.
National and international matters are focused though the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts (RSWT).
His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales is patron of both RSWT and The Wildlife Trusts. |
