About us

Wiltshire Wildlife Trust is part of The Wildlife Trusts: a Federation of 46 local independent charities working across the UK to create a wilder future, in a powerful network for innovation and advocacy. 

Founded in 1962, today Wiltshire Wildlife Trust is the leading charity in Wiltshire and Swindon working to achieve nature’s recovery and connect people with nature.

Today, we manage over 40 nature reserves across Wiltshire and Swindon, including wetland, woodland, meadow and chalk downland habitats. 

Delivering nature's recovery

By 2030, nature will be in recovery in Wiltshire and Swindon, with habitats, species and natural processes being restored at scale.

To achieve this, we need:

• 30% of land in positive management for nature
• Species abundance and diversity increasing
• Natural processes being restored
• Nature-based solutions being used to address the climate and water emergencies

Connecting people with nature

By 2030, people will be taking action for nature and benefitting from nature in their lives.

To achieve this we need:

• 1 in 4 people taking meaningful action to drive nature’s recovery locally and nationally
• Health and wellbeing of people improved through their engagement in and with nature
• Opportunities for all children and young people to nurture a lasting interest in nature
• Nature and climate at the heart of decision-making locally and nationally
