Northumberland Wildlife Trust
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Northumberland Wildlife Trust was established in 1971 (following a split from the Northumberland & Durham Trust, established 1962) to help conserve and protect the wildlife of Northumberland, Newcastle upon Tyne and North Tyneside in the UK. The Trust is a charity, and a member of The Wildlife Trusts partnership. It manages 59 nature reserves including Hauxley and East Chevington on the Northumberland Coast to Whitelee Moor, a 1500 ha hill farm on the Scottish Border.
The Trust was founded by Tony Tynan, and to honour that fact he has been given the title of Founder. Bill Oddie is the Patron of the Trust.
Particular projects where Northumberland Wildlife Trust has a special expertise include Red Squirrel conservation and peatland restoration.
The trust runs activities in which volunteers can participate every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and alternate Sundays. Volunteers help to maintain the trust's nature reserves.
