Wildlife advice

The Wildlife Trusts advise landowners on how they can help protect wildlife on their patch.

A number of Wildlife Trusts across England have been designated Responsible Bodies by Defra. This designation means that they can enter into legally-binding agreements known as Conservation Covenants with landowners and developers.

Whether you found an injured bird in your garden, your cat brought one home as a gift, or it flew into your window, it is important to think before rushing in to help. Make sure you ask yourself "should I rescue this injured bird?", and if the answer is yes, make sure that you are equipped with the right knowledge and are adequately prepared to do so.
