Staffordshire Wildlife Trust has commissioned a number of publications, which can be downloaded below.

A county-wide scheme which aims to restore the ecological health of Staffordshire's watercourses.

In 2016 we put a report together alongside Staffordshire Ecological Record. It was the first “stocktake” of species and habitats found across the county and brought together data and expertise from dozens of individuals and organisations, providing an update on how wildlife is faring across the county in the hope that action will be taken to improve conditions.

Winter is a time of subtle beauty and hidden wild treasures to spot

Summer is a time of colour. By day, colourful wildlife zips and darts along the waterside in the form of hunting kingfishers and dragonflies. Butterflies flit between flower and reptiles bask on sun warmed bare earth. The activity carries on under cover of darkness too - bats sweep swiftly through the air and nightjars churr, while glow-worms adorn the night with their luminescent mating rituals.

During Autumn, daylight rapidly reduces and the sun is becomes lower in the sky. The autumn equinox, when day and night are of equal length, is on 23 September. There are often spectacular sunsets in Autumn, the stars can seem brighter at night, and mist often blankets the land early in the morning. This is a time of nature's plenty, with a beautiful hedgerow harvests of blackberries, rose hips, crab apples, hazelnuts and seeds. Many of our much-loved creatures take advantage of this wild harvest to build up fat reserves for migration or hibernation.
