There are plenty of ways to get involved with the Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trusts work, whether it’s through volunteering, supporting our campaigns or taking action in your own life to support local wildlife.
More than 100 people support the Trust through volunteering, gaining skills and experience in conservation in the process, and thousands of you have helped us campaign for a better deal for nature and people locally and in the wider world, challenging potentially harmful developments and providing expert evidence to local authorities on issues like flood protection and street trees. Many more local people regularly take action in their own lives to help wildlife thrive, whether it’s through sustainable living, wildlife gardening or simply taking time to appreciate nature.
