| About SWT |
Sheffield Wildlife Trust exists to build a better future for the people and wildlife of the city.
Targeted work to protect vulnerable habitats and species is happening alongside initiatives to boost the general wildlife value of parks and open spaces across Sheffield.
Working in partnership, both nationally through the Wildlife Trusts network, and locally with the City Council and Sheffield’s regeneration agencies, enables us to make sure wildlife and the environment are given the consideration they deserve.
Locally we have strong links with the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, which covers the whole of the Yorkshire region. We work with the Yorkshire Trust in Sheffield and in Rotherham, where the Blackburn Meadows Nature Reserve provides superb birdwatching, recreational and educational facilities to the people of South Yorkshire through a wide partnership involving the two Trusts, the local councils, Yorkshire Water, South Yorkshire Forest, Magna and the Countryside Agency.
