Joined up thinking: working to achieve a Living Landscape and a Living Sea.

The Wildlife Trusts work in partnership with thousands of landowners and businesses across the UK in towns, cities and in the wider countryside. Using the our existing network of more than 2,000 nature reserves as a cornerstone, The Wildlife Trusts’ recovery plan for the UK’s wildlife and fragmented habitats, known as A Living Landscape, is being achieved through restoring, recreating and reconnecting large areas of wildlife habitat, helping to safeguard the ecosystems that we depend on for so much. The Wildlife Trusts are also working to protect the UK’s marine environment and secure Living Seas. We are involved with many marine conservation projects around the UK, often surveying and collecting vital data on the state of our seas.

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust runs a wide range of projects focused on protecting and enhancing Yorkshire's wild places, all under the framework of our Living Landscapes and Living Seas. The Trust also works to introduce people to their local environment through volunteering and community projects.
