Water Vole

Durham Wildlife Trust continues the important work to reverse the decline of Britain’s most threatened species.  The Heritage Lottery funded “From Coal to Voles” project finished in 2007 but new funding through the Environment Agency has allowed the trust to again fund a project officer focused on protecting the water vole.  For more information on water voles please click HERE.

Badgers

The badger has been present in Britain for thousands of years. It has a truly omnivorous diet, eating anything from earthworm to windfall fruit. Despite being harmless and secretive animals, badgers have suffered centuries of persecution from man. For further information click here to visit the Durham Badger Group.
