Nature is in trouble and Devon Wildlife Trust’s mission stems from the need for urgent change and our belief that, if enough people care and act, we can bring nature back and do it on a grand scale. For 60 years, we have been at the forefront of protecting wildlife and the wild places that make Devon so special and believe, passionately, that a better world is one where nature and people thrive together. We are the only Devon focused charity that exists to protect all wildlife in Devon, on land and at sea. Our work covers landscape scale efforts to recover nature, pioneering work to bring back lost species like the beaver, delivering nature based solutions to climate change, connecting people and communities with nature, bringing nature based learning to the next generation, and campaigning for laws and policies that recognise how vital nature is to us all and which drive individual action for wildlife. We are a member-led organisation, with over 37,000 members and hundreds of volunteers, and we are part of a movement of 46 Wildlife Trusts across the United Kingdom.
