About Us

The Wildlife Trusts are a grassroots movement of over 900,000 members, 32,500 volunteers, and 2,500 staff across the UK. We are at an exciting moment in our 110-year history, with an ambitious new strategy setting out a vision of nature in recovery, with abundant, diverse wildlife and natural processes creating wilder landscapes where people and nature thrive.

We need to urgently reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. This will require key stakeholders and the public to take action for nature's recovery, necessitating big, bold changes in our operations and the development of a strong, collaborative culture.

About You
