We are Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, the largest charity in the county dedicated to nature’s recovery. We want everyone in Gloucestershire to value, enjoy and share wildlife in the county and believe strongly that nature matters, not only in its own right, but for the benefits it brings to people.
We aim to play a central role in tackling the ecological and climate emergencies, working closely with local communities and our partners in the county. We manage over 1,000 hectares of nature reserves and work with farmers and landowners across Gloucestershire. Nature’s recovery depends on people and re-connecting their sense of belonging in the natural world. 28,000 members in Gloucestershire support our work, with hundreds regularly volunteering time, support and energy.
Our purpose is to work locally to deliver the natural solutions, both small and large, from doorstep to landscape, that grow hope for a wilder future. In doing so, we are helping to reconnect people’s sense of belonging in the natural world and securing nature’s recovery with the people of Gloucestershire. Underpinned by evidence, our work is for the benefit of us all, both today and for generations to come.
