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.

But our islands are in danger and we’ve seen a higher depletion of nature here than almost anywhere else in the world. Adopt a Plot is a small way you can take a big step towards bringing back nature. From £7.50 a month, you can help renew a nature super site. These six sites, including Wallington, spread across the UK, have been specially selected for their potential to restore nature across whole landscapes. Find out more.
