The WildlifeTrusts are a UK network of Local WildlifeTrusts, usually based on single or adjacent counties, or in the case of Scotland, a whole country.
These obviously vary from trust to trust, but you can be sure that they will include a system of WATCH groups (wildlife-based activity clubs for children); some links with County biological recording networks; contacts for wildlife enthusiast groups such as badger groups, bat groups and other local organisations and individuals.
The WildlifeTrusts is also known as the The RoyalSociety of WildlifeTrusts, and formerly the RoyalSociety of Nature Conservation, although this name is not now normally used.
