Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales
Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales
The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales manages more than 80 nature reserves across the region. It was formed in 2002 by the merger of the West Wales and Glamorgan wildlife trusts. Its roots lie in wildlife protection in Pembrokeshire before the Second World War.
The trust is funded solely through donations, membership subscriptions, fundraising and legacies. It is one of 47 wildlife trusts which cover the whole of the British Isles and share common conservation aims.
