What does the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust do?
We are the leading local wildlife conservation charity in Hampshire and the Island. We look after 57 wildlife reserves, have 27,000 members and 1,000 volunteers. We manage our own land and 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 offer wildlife education opportunities for the very young through to the very old. We work to protect wildlife on land and sea  -  so that we can all enjoy a future rich in wildlife. Find out more about what we do and visit the Wildlife Conservation section of our website.

I need advice on bats in the attic...
All bats are protected under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act and Schedule 2 of the Habitats Regulations. This means that it is illegal to kill, injure, sell, capture or disturb the animals and their habitat. If you would like to organise a bat survey, or have an injured or orphaned bat please contact Hampshire Bat Group on 023 8061 7551 or visit the Hampshire Bat Group website. If you'd like further information on bat species then please contact WildLine.
