Committed to protecting & enhancing the wildlife & wild places of Staffordshire. JOIN TODAY at www.staffs-wildlife.org.uk/membership to make a difference!

Staffordshire Wildlife Trust is one of a network of 47 Wildlife Trusts. Together they cover every corner of the UK. The Wildlife Trusts have been speaking out for nature in Britain since 1912 and now have over three-quarters of a million members! Closer to home
We are a voluntary organisation overseen by an elected Council, employing over 120 staff. Being a charity we are financially dependent to

a large extent on the support of our members, both private (over 19,000) and corporate. Our work raises awareness about the natural environment in Staffordshire amongst other organisations and individuals. We provide a way for interested people to protect areas of nature conservation value from inappropriate change and encourage good management of valued areas and, where appropriate, the creation of new habitats. Opportunities
Staffordshire Wildlife Trust offers outstanding opportunities for both young and old to learn about the environment and to explore and enjoy the wonders of nature. From education programmes for schools and short courses for adults to children’s clubs, Wildlife Watch and family events we offer a range of activities which provide a greater understanding of the natural world and encourage involvement in protecting our local environment. Our qualified and experienced staff deliver to a high standard with a flexible approach to ensure we match the specific needs of your group, school or individual interest. Local to YOU
The Trust has a network of 6 Local Groups, most with a full and varied programme of indoor and outdoor meetings. In addition there are specialist sub-groups that members can join, such as the Staffordshire Bat and Fungus Groups. These groups are open to beginners and experts alike and they provide an excellent way of maximising the benefits of membership.

Despite its beauty, Gun Moor is quietly struggling beneath the surface. But change is afoot.

Thanks to a major Government funding boost, we're going to launch an ambitious restoration project to bring this incredible place back to life. 🌱

🦉 Rare birds on the brink will be given a fighting chance.
🌧️ Peatlands will reawaken and hold water once more.
🌿 Habitats will be restored to be richer and more vibrant than ever.

This isn’t just conservation. It’s a chance to restore one of the Peak District’s hidden gems, reviving as special wild space so future generations of wildlife can thrive.

👉 Head to the link in the comments to discover how we’ll begin to transform Gun Moor later this year.
