A history of The Wildlife Trusts and how it all began. In May 1912 banker and expert naturalist Charles Rothschild held a meeting at the Natural History Museum in London to discuss his idea for a new organisation to save Britain's best places for nature.

As we approach the 2021 Welsh Government election, we highlight what we think should be a priority in our manifesto.

Wildlife Trusts Wales works closely with the five Welsh Wildlife Trusts. In Wales, over 100 people are employed by Wildlife Trusts and there are over 2,000 volunteers!

Wildlife Trusts Wales have a number of partnership projects which are bringing people closer to nature, and securing a Wilder Future for wildlife in Wales.

By signing the pesticide free pledge, you are taking an important step to protect our amazing insects.

In Britain we have around 270 species of bee. These include solitary bees, bumblebees and honeybees. You can identify some of the common bumblebees you see buzzing around parks and gardens using our guide.

How to identify bird and butterflies in your gardens, tell the difference between native and Spanish bluebells, know your birds of prey, and identify droppings and tracks.

For over a decade, The Wildlife Trusts have campaigned with other environmental organisations in the UK for new laws to provide better protection for marine habitats and wildlife. As a result, the ground-breaking Marine and Coastal Access Act (Marine Act) was introduced in November 2009, providing UK Government with the tools needed to revolutionise the management of our marine environment. Wildlife Trusts Wales are calling for the Marine Act to be effectively implemented in Wales, and the opportunities provided by the Act seized to ensure real benefits for biodiversity around the Welsh coast.

There is not much time left to ensure the new Agriculture (Wales) Bill will enable the restoration of nature in Wales. Despite months of discussions with the Welsh Government, the Bill currently ignores the importance of nature restoration.
