  • 100 Years of the Wildlife Trusts: a Potted History
    100 years of The Wildlife Trusts: a potted history 1912-15: Charles Rothschild and the move to protect wild places On 16 May 1912, a banker, expert entomologist and much-travelled naturalist named Charles Rothschild formed the Society for the Promotion of Nature Reserves (SPNR) in order to identify and protect the UK’s best places for wildlife. The SPNR would later become The Wildlife Trusts. At that time, concern for nature focussed on protecting individual species from cruelty and exploitation, but Rothschild’s vision was to safeguard the places where wildlife lived – the moors, meadows, woods and fens under attack from rapid modernisation. In 1910, at the age of 33, Rothschild had bought 339 acres of wild fenland in Cambridgeshire, which later became the SPNR’s first nature reserve. From its base at the Natural History Museum in London, the SPNR started putting Rothschild’s vision into practice. By 1915, Rothschild and his colleagues – among them future Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain – had prepared a list of 284 special wildlife sites around the British Isles they considered ‘worthy of permanent preservation’, and presented this to the Board of Agriculture. The list of potential reserves included the Farne Islands and the Norfolk Broads in England, Tregaron Bog in Wales, Caen Lochan Glen in Scotland, and Lough Neagh in Ireland.1 However, despite Rothschild’s efforts he became ill and the list was not adopted by government. It would take many more years for the protection of wild places to make it onto the statute. 1920s-50s: The National Parks & Access to the Countryside Act and the birth of local Wildlife Trusts Rothschild died early, in 1923 at the age of 46, and stewardship of the SPNR passed to another visionary – a retired gemologist from the Natural History Museum named Herbert Smith.

To achieve this we take an integrated approach – from saving wildlife-rich places through to influencing Europe-wide policies on fisheries and agriculture. Many of our staff and volunteers are on the front line, leading school parties, studying undersea wildlife, managing and creating habitats for wildlife and talking to farmers, planners, MPs, policy-makers and businesses about the value of nature and what they can do to help. Each Wildlife Trust is run by people who care for the natural environment of their patch - whether a city, county, country or island.

  • The Wildlife Trusts Impact Report 2018/2019
    The Wildlife Trusts impact report 2018/2019 Thank you! Dixie © Penny Most people agree that wildlife and wild places are valuable and yet wildlife continues to decline on land and at sea. We have reached a point where the natural world is in a critical condition and need your support more than ever. We need to put nature into recovery for its own sake and for everything it brings us: better health and wellbeing, climate control, flood management, employment and so much more. That is why The Wildlife Trusts launched Wilder Future – to build a wide network of supporters, decision makers and businesses taking urgent and immediate action for nature’s recovery. Angle shades moth © Amy Lewis Amy © Angle shades moth A big thank you to all our members, partners and supporters who helped us during 2018-19.

  • Wildlife for the Future Welcome
    WIssue 104 • WINTERil 2015dlife The future in your hands Kevin McCloud Making a difference With your help... our new Vice President the living landscape realising Our Vision Includes UK news & stories Protecting Wildlife for the Future Welcome Dear member We are thrilled to welcome our new honorary Vice President, Kevin McCloud, who adds his support to the Trust’s work. Kevin’s team at HAB Housing is based in Bristol, and earlier this year, his staff gave their time to the Trust for free to build our volunteer cabin at Bennett’s Patch & White’s Paddock. It is a rare partnership between a Wildlife Trust and a housing developer, but as you will read, Kevin and his team have a genuine passion for development that makes space for wildlife, and forming such partnerships is an important part of influencing the future. We welcome Kevin at a critical time, when the four Unitary Dr Bevis Watts Authorities in the West of England are formulating a Joint Spatial Chief Executive, Plan – one which the Trust would like to see take into account the Avon Wildlife Trust ecosystems needed to support a growing population with clean water, clean air and the other services we take for granted, as well as simply for our wellbeing through that connection to nature. We need to be thinking 40 years ahead, protecting, restoring and planting the ecological networks we will need in the future, not simply mitigating individual developments. If mitigation is ad hoc, the continued decline of our ecosystems is inevitable. Through the West of England Nature Partnership, we are working towards a more strategic approach.

  • Red Squirrels United Sciuriouslife Layman’S Report 2016 LIFE14 NAT/UK/000467
    Red Squirrels United SciuriousLIFE Layman’s Report 2016 LIFE14 NAT/UK/000467 Helping to secure the future of red squirrels in the UK ©Charles Thody The red squirrel has lived in forests and woodlands across the UK since the end of the last ice age, 10,000 years ago. Their numbers have declined drastically over the last century and now there are approximately 140,000 left in the wild. Grey squirrels were brought to the UK in the 1800s by the Victorians, the first record of them escaping and establishing a wild population was in 1876. Since then they have spread across much of the UK. They arrived in Ireland in 1911. Many scientific studies show that the introduction of the grey squirrel from NorthAmerica has been the major factor in the red squirrel’s decline over the past century. This is due to competition for food and shelter and spread of the squirrelpox virus (which grey squirrels can transmit to red squirrels). Unfortunately, without conservation management, red squirrels will become extinct from the UK mainland. This map shows the rapid decline of the red squirrel over the past century. ©KatyCook ©GillianDay Why can’t red squirrels and grey squirrels live together? ©GillianFrench If red and grey squirrels could live together long-term, red squirrels would be more widespread throughout the UK mainland. However, grey squirrels are larger and compete more successfully than red squirrels for food and habitat. This forces red squirrels into less suitable areas, such as conifer forests, where they can find it more difficult to survive.
