London Wildlife Trust

London Wildlife Trust's Camley Street urban nature reserve

London Wildlife Trust was founded in 1981.[1] It is one of 47 members of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts (known as The Wildlife Trusts), each of which is a local nature conservation charity for its area.[2]

The Trust aims to protect London's wildlife and wild spaces, and it manages over 40 nature reserves in Greater London,[3] One of its campaigns is to turn London's gardens into mini-nature reserves,[4] and it provides education services for schools. Local groups work on reserves and organise walks.[5]

In its Annual Review for 2008-2009, the Trust showed an income of £2.5 million, but it did not show its membership.[6]
