About us
Who we are
We are a local charity supported by 1,000 volunteers and over 37,000 members. We manage over 100 nature reserves, including some of the UK’s rarest habitats such as ancient woodland, wild fen, wetland and wildflower meadow. By creating Living Landscapes, we are connecting these sites together in a large natural network that helps wildlife move freely. We provide wildlife experiences for people of all ages and backgrounds through events, training workshops, school programmes and volunteering opportunities. We work strategically and share our knowledge, advising landowners on how to manage their land for nature. We monitor the health of nature using the latest technology (aerial drones, LIDAR, GPS and mapping software) as well as species identification and recording. We defend wildlife through engagement with the planning system, local MPs and other Wildlife Trusts, campaigning on issues affecting wildlife.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
We aim to put equality, diversity and inclusion at the heart of our Wildlife Trust, to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to experience the joy of wildlife in their daily lives.
Our Trust is committed to:
- Understanding inequalities experienced by many communities in accessing nature
- Improve connection and inclusivity for all and ensure everyone is able to benefit from wildlife.
- Committed to ensuring we reflect and represent all parts of society by improving access to jobs and training opportunities for groups currently under represented in our sector
- Our people are very important to us, so we’re wild about cultivating inclusive work spaces that are free from discrimination, where differences are valued, everyone can be themselves and flourish.
