Our Campaigns

A local charity with a national voice

We support and are supported by the 46 Wildlife Trusts in the United Kingdom. With 31,000 members in the region and 800,000 members nationally we represent a strong body of opinion when it comes to wildlife issues.

Planning and built development

The planning system in England, and particularly in our 'patch', has been in a state of almost continuous reconfiguration over recent years; with devolution to Greater Manchester and Liverpool City Region and loss of Lancashire County Council’s strategic planning powers, and the appearance of Marine Spatial Planning off our coasts being the most obvious local changes.

How we use our land

Food, forestry and farming

A number of sites across our region face issues from farming and forestry. We are working with landowners and organisations to tailor practices to benefit nature, better manage the landscape, and make wildlife a priority.
