About Us
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust is the only charity dedicated to conserving, protecting and enhancing your local wildlife - whatever it is and wherever in the two counties it may be. From otters to orchids, from butterflies to bitterns and from seahorses to sundews we believe wildlife matters. So on land, under the sea, on coasts, in rivers or even in the boggy bits we use our knowledge, influence, expertise and enthusiasm to protect local wildlife.
It isn't always easy. Faced with threats such as climate change, increasing development and rising sea levels it can sometimes seem that a wildlife-rich future is a dream. But if people are prepared to join with us, make a stand and help us ensure that the needs of our local wildlife are not overlooked then we cam make that dream a reality. That is what we do. We are passionate about our work and we know that we can make a difference.
But we are not alone. We are supported by our staff, hundreds of volunteers and thousands of members and supporters. Together we are creating two wildlife-rich counties for future generations to enjoy.

This website provides information on our reserves, campaigns, projects, education work, marine work, family activities, events and information service. And why not join us today and support our work? We would appreciate your support.
We also work in partnership with 46 other Wildlife Trusts around the UK. We are all independently and locally run charities but we see the benefit of working collectively to influence national and regional government policies affecting wildlife.
