The Wildlife Trust on the Isle of Wight

View from Eagleshead Copse by Chris ArchboldThe Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust has been working to protect the Island's wildlife in earnest since 1993. Since this time we have built up a team of five officers delivering all aspects of the Wildlife Trust's work on the Isle of Wight including reserve management, education, land advice and wildlife projects.

We actively involve members of the community in practical conservation tasks and wildlife monitoring as well as providing Island school children their first taste of the natural environment. Landowners, local politicians, planners and local organisations are all engaged to help us deliver the best for our natural heritage. Major projects which the Trust is involved in include Isle of Wight Catchment Sensitive Farming and Isle of Wight Living Landscapes
