Staffordshire Wildlife Trust

Nationally
Our unique organisation is a network of 47 Wildlife Trusts and Wildlife Watch (our junior branch). Together they cover every corner of the UK. The Wildlife Trusts have been speaking out for nature in Britain since 1912 and now have over three-quarters of a million members!


Closer to home
We are a voluntary organisation overseen by an elected Council, employing over fifty staff. Being a charity we are financially dependent to a large extent on the support of our members, both private (over 15,000) and corporate (about 50). Our work raises awareness about the natural environment in Staffordshire amongst other organisations and individuals. We provide a way for interested people to protect areas of nature conservation value from inappropriate change and encourage good management of valued areas and, where appropriate, the creation of new habitats.


Opportunities
Staffordshire Wildlife Trust offers outstanding opportunities for both young and old to learn about the environment and to explore and enjoy the wonders of nature. From education programmes for schools and short courses for adults to children’s clubs, Wildlife Watch and family events we offer a range of activities which provide a greater understanding of the natural world and encourage involvement in protecting our local environment. Our qualified and experienced staff deliver to a high standard with a flexible approach to ensure we match the specific needs of your group, school or individual interest.


Local to YOU
The Trust has a network of 10 Local Groups, most with a full and varied programme of indoor and outdoor meetings. In addition there are specialist sub-groups that members can join, such as the Staffordshire Bat and Fungus Groups. These groups are open to beginners and experts alike and they provide an excellent way of maximising the benefits of membership.
