Our History
Warwickshire Wildlife Trust was established in
1970 to protect and enhance our local natural heritage, and
encourage people to get involved and make a difference. Our Vision
is for an environment rich in wildlife, valued and enjoyed by
everyone.
The Trust is a registered charity (No
209200) and a company limited by guarantee (No 585247). It is a
membership organisation, governed by its Memorandum and Articles of
Association.
The Trust is managed by a Council of
Trustees, elected from its members, who provide the overall
direction for the development of the Trust. On a day-to-day basis
its work is carried out by a staff totalling nearly 100 (at 31
December 2009, including Middlemarch Environmental Ltd, the Trust's
wholly-owned subsidiary consultancy company). The Charity's head
office is at Brandon Marsh Nature Centre near Coventry and it owns
an Education Centre in Brueton Park, Solihull as well as leasing
offices for Middlemarch Environmental Ltd.
The Trust has had its headquarters at
Brandon Marsh since 1991. From here it organises its conservation
and education work throughout Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull.
During 2009 the membership of Warwickshire Wildlife Trust rose to a
record of over 22,000. However, the support of existing and new
members is crucial to enable the Trust to achieve yet more. If you
could help, please

Warwickshire Wildlife Trust is one of 47
independent charities which form a national partnership - The
Wildlife Trusts, with over 750,000 members and 2,500 nature
reserves throughout the UK.
