Northumberland Wetlands - A Living Landscape. Our aim is to restore or create a range of nationally threatened wetland habitats that reflect the true richness of our floodplains, principally in South East Northumberland. Read more about the Water Framework Directive.
UK nature is in trouble – that is the conclusion of a groundbreaking report published by a coalition of leading conservation and research organisations. Read more about the State of Nature report.
Northumberland Wildlife Trust cares about all wildlife sites but as a charity we have limited resources. This means we cannot respond directly to every threat we hear about. Therefore, in addition to commenting on applications ourselves, we are actively encouraging people to take action to protect their local environment.
We receive a wide variety of calls on a daily basis, which often require simple answers or basic information. Browse through our 'frequently asked questions', and contact us if your query is not answered.
