Protected areas

Protecting places to save their wildlife and habitats has been at the heart of what we do since we were founded more than 100 years ago. Today The Wildlife Trusts care for more than 2,300 nature reserves - woods, meadows, marshes, city parks. At sea we campaign for Marine Protected Areas - parts of the seabed where wildlife is protected. Find out more about the different types of protected wildlife sites in the UK.
