Welcome
Warwickshire Wildlife Trust works
to protect and enhance the wildlife, natural habitats and
geology throughout Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull. We
encourage everyone to get out and enjoy Warwickshire's wildlife and
wild places - and get involved! Wildlife needs your help more
than ever before.
The Wildlife Trusts: 100 years of
nature conservation is a documentary film telling the
story of The Wildlife Trusts. From its inception as the Society for
the Promotion of Nature Reserves in 1912 under the leadership of
Charles Rothschild, to the birth of the local conservation movement
after WWII, through its dramatic growth in the 1960s to the present
day.
The film visits locations such as Skomer,
Loch of the Lowes, Brockholes, Flamborough Head, Woodwalton Fen and
Ballynahone Bog. It also uses archive footage from Trusts, the BBC
and other sources. Interviewees include Sir David Attenborough,
Prof Aubrey Manning, Simon King, Ted Smith, Stephanie Hilborne,
Hilary Benn MP and trustees, staff and volunteers from around the
Trusts. The film is narrated by the actor Sam West, directed by
Sarah Pitt and produced by Environment Films.

Wildlife Trusts, following its formation as the Society for
Promotion of Nature Reserves in 1912.

We are backing the campaign
The cap on income tax reliefs that George Osborne
announced in the Budget will negatively affect voluntary
organiations, both large and small.
It will discourage the major donors that give
large, one-off donations to many charities. And it's important to
remember that today's gifts are also tomorrow's grants. These
donors are behind many of the grant-giving trusts and foundations
that support frontline organisations.
