ABOUT US

Shropshire Wildlife Trust protects wildlife where you live. We are the county's leading environmental charity, currently supported by 8,000 members. With strength of numbers and 45 years of experience behind us we are an increasingly effective champion for local wildlife.

Did you know that the Trust ...

• Cares for 37 nature reserves, including woods, meadows and wetland bird havens.
• Welcomes people on to its nature reserves.
• Campaigns to persuade developers and local authorities to respect our natural environment.
• Encourages people to enjoy nature with walks, talks and events in town and country.
• Brings thousands of schoolchildren in touch with nature through school grounds projects and trips to nature reserves.
• Has local branches around the county.

We generally have around 20 staff members; both full- and part-time. Some 400 volunteers help carry out the work of the Trust, keeping nature reserves in shape, gardening, running local branches of the Trust, helping in the office and acting as trustees.

The Trust is based in Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury. We are open to visitors from Monday - Friday, 10am - 4.30pm. Here you can find out more about our work, explore the garden and browse in the shop.
