The Devon Wildlife Trust

There is a growing awareness of how important our natural environment is - in towns, in the countryside, and even under the sea. If you care about what makes and keeps Devon beautiful, now is the time to play your part.

The Devon Wildlife Trust works to achieve a Devon richer in wildlife by:

• protecting wildlife
• campaigning for threatened wildlife
• giving expert wildlife advice
• increasing understanding of wildlife

It is the only independent organisation exclusively concerned with all aspects of wildlife conservation in Devon.

A registered charity, DWT was established over 40 years ago and has a current membership of around 35,000.
