Our Mission To protect and enhance the wildlife and wild places of Leicestershire and Rutland and to engage people with nature. Our Vision A Living Landscape rich in wildlife, valued and enjoyed by all. Our Work The Trust works to safeguard wildlife by: Protecting precious places We care for 35 nature reserves covering 1,234 hectares (3,048 acres), spread across Leicestershire and Rutland. From woodland to meadows, wetland to heaths, these reserves contain a rich variety of animal and plant species, many rare. Encouraging people to enjoy nature We offer everyone the chance to experience some of Leicestershire and Rutland’s fantastic wildlife. Activities and events are organised throughout the year, everything from badger watches to the Birdfair. Inspiring and educating We invest in the future by helping people of all ages to gain a greater appreciation and understanding of nature. Children can take part too – our junior club Wildlife Watch is for young people who want to find out more about wildlife, make friends and have fun. Research and survey We monitor, study and survey the wildlife of our counties to identify special places and important species, to inform management and promote nature conservation, and to protect local biodiversity. Speaking out We campaign for wildlife, protecting threatened habitats like wildflower meadows and rare species such as ospreys, otters, bats and water voles.
