We are the leading local wildlife conservation charity in Hampshire and the Island. We care for 57 wildlife reserves – more than 6,500 acres of valuable wildlife habitat – and by providing volunteering, education and training opportunities, we enable individuals and communities to provide sustained benefit to these essential wild places.

Not only do we manage our own land, we also advise other landowners how to manage their land with wildlife in mind. We carry out surveys and gather data to monitor how our local wildlife is doing. We work to protect wildlife on land and in the sea – so that we can all enjoy a future rich in wildlife.
