Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

The Trust buys and rents land, and manages it in a traditional, wildlife friendly manner. Our conservation volunteers help in this respect on a weekly basis. Orchards, flood meadows and woodland are our main focus, but any land which has a landscape or heritage feature is considered. We hold and visit events where we explain these traditional ways to the local people.
