About us
Who we are
We are Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust – the largest membership organisation in the county dedicated to local wildlife. We aim to play a central role in tackling the ecological and climate emergencies in Gloucestershire, working closely with local communities and our partners. This needs 30% of the land supporting nature’s recovery by 2030 and unlocking the potential of nature-based solutions to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change. By working in partnership with farmers and landowners, we aim to create ten Nature Recovery Zones where wildlife with thrive alongside food production. These will cover over 60,000 hectares, including increasing our own nature reserves from 1,100 to 1,700 hectares. Alongside this we will collaborate on large scale cross-boundary ecosystem restoration projects and smaller scale wildlife enhancement and nature highways in urban neighbourhoods. We will inspire communities to influence decision makers and drive forward change in their own neighbourhoods.
Nature’s recovery depends on the Gloucestershire’s people. 28,000 members in Gloucestershire support our work, with hundreds regularly volunteering time and commitment. We want to make nature more inclusive by reaching 1 in 4 people and ensuring more people have access to nature on their doorstep. We want to empower at least 20,000 people to take meaningful action for nature, particularly by harnessing the energy of our volunteers and young people.
Our purpose is a simple one – to ensure nature’s recovery together with the people of Gloucestershire.
Our vision is for a natural world in recovery, where nature-based solutions are tackling the climate crisis and people are taking action for wildlife
Our priorities are outlined in our Strategy 2030.
At the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, we believe in supporting and caring for all our colleagues with honesty. We are rooted in our communities and our aim is to make nature inclusive for all. We pride ourselves in being champions for wildlife, advocating passion and pioneering sustainable methods for natures recovery.
