About The Wildlife Trusts
Wherever you are in the UK, there's a Wildlife Trust protecting, restoring and standing up for nature. We're a movement of 47 independent charities working for wildlife.
More than 945,000 members and 33,000 volunteers work together with their Wildlife Trust to make their local area wilder and make nature part of life, for everyone. We'd love you to join us.
A River Speaks
Rivers and their floodplains are wonderful, wild and essential habitats. In their natural state, rivers tame floods, store and supply water, provide vital habitats for wildlife and offer places for people to come together and enjoy nature.
Watch 'A River Speaks', voiced by Vicky McClure, which gives a voice to our rivers and highlights the growing pressures they face, then learn more about our vision for our rivers.
