About us

Staffordshire Wildlife Trust is your local wildlife charity. Established in 1969 we are dedicated to protecting the county’s wildlife and wild places.  

Staffordshire Wildlife Trust is the county's leading nature conservation charity. We have around 130 members of staff, who are guided by a board of trustees and supported by a network of volunteers that our work would not be possible without.

The Trust's main offices are at The Wolseley Centre in Wolseley Bridge, near Rugeley, which is also a popular visitor centre. We were the first Wildlife Trust to launch a charity shop in our mission to raise funds for Staffordshire's Wildlife. 

Our work would not be possible without your support. Become a member and help us keep looking after Staffordshire's wildlife for future generations. 

The Wildlife Trusts is a movement made up of 46 Wildlife Trusts: independent charities who all share a mission to create living landscapes and living seas and a society where nature matters.

Each Wildlife Trust is a member of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts (RSWT) which is a registered charity in its own right, founded in 1912. The central charity’s role is to ensure a strong voice for wildlife at a UK and England level and to lead the development of the movement. You can find out more about the history of The Wildlife Trust here. 

Together the 46 Trusts and RSWT are known as The Wildlife Trusts. Read about The Wildlife Trust movement here. 

There are thirty-seven Trusts in England, five in Wales, a Trust for Scotland and a Trust for Northern Ireland. There are also Trusts in Alderney and the Isle of Man. Each of the Wildlife Trusts is a registered charity.
