Wiltshire Wildlife Trust
Since its formation in 1962 the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust has grown to become the county's largest independent nature conservation charity.

With the support of 10,000 members the Trust works to ensure a better future for wildlife and people in Wiltshire.

In 1997 we spent over £1.4 million in caring for Wiltshire's countryside. Over 75% of this went to fund work that directly benefits the countryside, such as land purchase and management of our nature reserves, of which we now have nearly 50.

You can join the Trust by completing this form. If you are a taxpayer a Deed of Covenant enables the Trust to reclaim the tax you have already paid on your subscription at no extra cost to yourself.
A Direct Debit pays your subscription automatically and saves the Trust time and expense in sending reminder letters.
