About us
The Wildlife Trust is a wildlife conservation charity that works for a better future for all kinds of wildlife across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Peterborough. Our mission is to protect and improve habitats and wildlife in our local area as well as helping people to enjoy and understand their local wildlife.
Many wildlife species and habitats have disappeared over the past 50 years. Once common species such as primrose and harebell now scarcely exist outside nature reserves. Hay meadows have become rarities, while water meadows have dried out and ancient woodlands have been planted with non-native conifers. The Trust is working not just to protect what remains, but also to increase the numbers and diversity of native wild plants and animals in our countryside. We are not content with protecting what is left – too much has already been lost – instead we want to put something back.
Our work is in five main areas
- Looking after reserves
- Creating new reserves and habitats
- Protecting wildlife beyond reserves
- Monitoring wildlife
- Involving people in conservation
We strive to base all our work for wildlife on sound knowledge and science. Involving people of all ages and in all communities in our nature conservation work is also very important. An example of this is our preference to work in partnership with others, such as local communities, companies, local and regional government and organisations of many kinds. The Trust depends on its individual members and supporters who provide income, influence and practical action to ensure the continuance of our work for wildlife. Lastly, we aim to be cost-conscious, environmentally responsible and ethical in all our activities.
