The Wildlife Trusts play a very important part in our natural heritage. I would encourage anyone who cares about wildlife to join them.
Sir David Attenborough, Vice President of the Wildlife Trusts
The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales is the largest charitable organisation working exclusively on all aspects of wildlife conservation in Wales. This is achieved by working at the most local level and involves managing nature reserves, acting as watchdog for threats to the wider countryside, running environmental education programmes for all age groups, running Wildlife Watch (the junior members club) and involving volunteers in all aspects of our work.
We have been protecting Wales' natural habitats and species for over 50 years but we need your help to continue. The Wildlife Trusts depend a great deal on their members, volunteers and members of the local community to provide resources both of finance and energy to achieve their aims.
The Trust needs many more new members to enable it to speak with a louder voice within this region and beyond.

How much does membership cost?
We have set minimum membership rates for each category (please see membership form) however we ask that people consider giving a higher amount than this if possible.
You can also use Gift Aid, which enables the Trust to collect an extra 25p in every £1 from the inland revenue, at no extra cost to you. Simply sign in the box provided and the Trust will do the rest.
