  • Common Pipistrelle photograph by Sue CharltonWe manage a variety of species and habitat protection projects.  Working with the public, policy makers and planners, the Trust’s aim is to develop a multi-agency approach to nature conservation.
  • A range of public participation surveys enable the Trust to collect and analyse important data about County Durham’s wildlife.  This information is used to inform future conservation activities.
  • We work hard to raise awareness of the variety of wildlife in rural and urban areas.
  • Durham Wildlife Trust will speak out on appropriate local issues as one voice on behalf of all our members.
  • We advise on planning and will help fight insensitive developments
  • We actively support farmers and landowners in managing their land in ways sympathetic to wildlife.
