Pine marten conservation at Wallington
The pine marten was once a familiar feature of English woodlands and plays an important role in keeping our woodlands healthy and balanced. It's thought that the species was once the country’s second most common carnivore (after the weasel), but due to habitat loss and hunting it's now the second rarest (after the wildcat). Here at Wallington we're working in partnership with Vincent Wildlife Trust to encourage the natural expansion of pine martens into the Wallington Estate.
