The Wildlife Trusts

Herefordshire Wildlife Trust is part of The Wildlife Trust movement. There are 46 Wildlife Trusts across the whole of the UK, the Isle of Man and Alderney. Together we have more than 870,000 members, over 32,500 volunteers, 2,500 staff and 600 trustees. The Wildlife Trusts are the largest UK voluntary organisation dedicated to conserving the whole range of the UK’s habitats and species.

Herefordshire Wildlife Trust, along with each of the other 45 Wildlife Trusts, is an independent, autonomous charity with its own Trustees. We are a member of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts (RSWT) which operates as an umbrella organisation for all 46 Wildlife Trusts and helps coordinate campaigns at a national level.

Campaigning to save the River Wye

The River Wye should be a proud and joyous example of a healthy river, considering that it is a notified Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Area of Conservation (SAC), national and international designations intended to protect the highest quality rivers.  Sadly, that is not the case.
