Conserving nature, for the benefit of everyone, is at the heart of the National Trust's work.

We are one of Europe's leading nature conservation organisations. The scale of our responsibility for the natural history of England, Wales and Northern Ireland is unrivalled by any other organisation.

Central to our work are caring for important wildlife sites and natural landscapes; conserving endangered and protected species; and addressing environmental issues such as pollution and the impacts of climate change on our wildlife and habitats.

Our Nature Advisors are expert in the conservation and management of wildlife and natural features.

However, there is a cost for conserving our wildlife and habitats. Around £20 million is spent on coast and countryside conservation projects each year.
