About us
Who we are
We are a network of community volunteers and local groups working across our towns and villages to champion wildlife and support projects that enhance and expand local habitats. Our vision is to create thriving natural spaces where wildlife can flourish and communities feel connected to the nature around them.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support one another by sharing knowledge, ideas, and resources, and by working together on initiatives that benefit wildlife across South Warwickshire.
Our Long-term Goals
We aim to connect and strengthen the efforts of individual wildlife groups to support nature’s recovery on a landscape scale across South Warwickshire.
We also align with the goals of the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, including:
- Securing 30% of land to be protected, connected, and actively recovering tor nature by 2030.
- Inspiring 1 in 4 people in Warwickshire to take action for wildlife because research shows that when 25% of a population gets involved, it can trigger widespread change in attitudes and behaviours
