The Wildlife Trusts have recently published a short guide to Local WIldlife Sites. These sites, although often small, are a vital part of our ecological networks, but often go unnoticed. Find out why they are important here!

The Wildlife Trusts have worked with local authorities, statutory agencies, landowners and other local partners for many years to identify, monitor and manage Local Wildlife Sites. Within these partnerships, we often play a significant role in advising and supporting site owners, and designating important local sites. Essex Wildlife Trust currently works with a number of local landowners to help maintain these sites for wildlife.

To find out more about why Local Wildilfe Sites matter, download the guide from the Wildlife Trusts website here.
