For the past 60 years Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust have been championing wildlife across Nottinghamshire from a grassroots organisation to today as the county's leading conservation charity. Our vision is to create more space for nature, connect more people with nature, inspiring them to take on the baton of advocacy and wildlife championing.

Day to day, Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust support a wide variety of projects and activity across our county. We look after over 40 reserves, which offer places of sanctuary for both people and wildlife. Our flagship reserves, Attenborough Nature Reserve and Idle Valley Nature Reserve host thousands of visitors every year (not all of which are of the human variety with winter and summer migrating birds seeking refuge).

The Trust offer conservation advice to landowners across the county, working with farmers to create more sustainable and co-productive farming methods. We consult on planning applications submitted to the local authority to ensure best practice and push for nature first approaches to planning . The Broadmarsh campaign showed the power of activism with almost 15,000 people signing the petition and calling on the council to think green first.

The charity also inspire and educate young people, encouraging their passion for wildlife with practical skills. Woodthorpe Meadow Nature Reserve is exclusively managed by the Keeping it Wild Team of 13-15 year olds. We provide volunteering opportunities across all spectrums of their work, allowing volunteers from all walks of life to get directly involved with our work protecting wildlife.
