people taking action for local wildlife

We are part of the Wildlife Trusts partnership which is the UK's leading conservation charity dedicated to all wildlife. The network of 47 local Wildlife Trusts and our junior branch, Wildlife Watch, work together with local communities to protect wildlife in all habitats across the UK, in towns, countryside, wetlands and seas.

The Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside was formed in 1962 by a group of naturalists who wanted to help protect the wildlife of the old county Lancashire. It is now the leading local environmental charity in this region.

Our Mission
To work for a region richer in wildlife by the protection and enhancement of species and habitats, both common and rare. To work towards public recognition that a healthy environment rich in wildlife and managed on sustainable principles, is essential for continued human existence.

Our Vision
To be the key voice for nature conservation within our region and to use our knowledge and expertise to help the people and organisations of Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside to enjoy, understand and take action to conserve their wildlife and its habitats.
