Wiltshire Wildlife Trust Conservation Projects

Goal 1: Nature Recovery

Some of our Key Projects

From our iconic chalk streams to precious grasslands, from urban ponds to ancient woodlands, we are delivering ambitious collaborative projects that restore habitats at scale. We’re working across 40+ reserves and beyond to provide vital refuges for wildlife. Our chalk streams and grasslands are globally rare habitats, and their protection is a priority.
