Founded in 1962 by a small group of volunteers, Devon Wildlife Trust (DWT) is the only charity that exists to safeguard Devon’s unique natural environments and their wildlife.
Our VISION is for a Devon that is rich in all wildlife, where people enjoy and care about the natural world and take steps to safeguard it for the future.
We believe wildlife affects every part of everyone's lives and that everything we do impacts nature. We know that the natural environment is under immense threat here in Devon, nationally, and globally. Our strategic plans include ambitious, innovative and large-scale conservation approaches to protect and enhance wildlife; species reintroductions; wide reaching education and engagement programmes; and campaigning and advocacy work.
