Wonderful Wetlands, Wildfowl & Wills
The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) is one of the world’s largest, most respected wetland conservation organisations working globally to safeguard and improve wetlands for wildlife and people.
Founded in 1946 by Sir Peter Scott, today the Trust undertakes wetland conservation work worldwide with a wonderful network of Visitor Centres comprising globally important wetland habitats.
All of the Trust’s work is supported by a much valued membership base of over 200,000 people and their purpose is to raise awareness of the value of wetlands to life on Earth, identify and counter threats to the survival of wetlands and their wildlife and inspire people of all ages to explore and value wetland conservation.
When Sir Peter Scott founded the Trust his ideas were unique. He was the first to recognise the wisdom of a combined approach, taking action to save wetlands and wildlife whilst encouraging people to care about the natural world. He pioneered the notion that conservation education should be uplifting, fun for people of all ages and that wetlands are places to enjoy as well as respect. Sir Peter’s principles remain at the core of WWT’s work today and central to their future plans.
Anyone who has visited one of the WWT’s inspiring centres around the UK cannot fail to have been inspired by the wonderful work that is undertaken and all will have come away feeling inspired and uplifted.
