 | | New look: the Trust's new website is clean and efficient - just how the environment should be! |
The answers to these and thousands of other questions about wildlife and the environment in Wiltshire are just a click away, at Wiltshire Wildlife Trust’s new website. Ivo Smith, the Trust’s Head of Fundraising, explains: “www.wiltshirewildlife.org is a gateway to news and information on the wildlife and environment of our beautiful county. It has been made possible by generous funding from the New Opportunities Fund, as part of the Window on Wiltshire’s Heritage project.” A link to the Wiltshire and Swindon Biological Records Centre asks visitors to enter their observations on the wildlife people see in their everyday life. Records Centre Manager Tom Cairns explains: “Your observations on the birds that visit your garden, the frogs and toads that breed in your pond, even the dead animals you see on the road, will help us build up a map of what wildlife there is in Wiltshire, where it lives and what happens to it.  | | Find out about the wildlife around you with the new WWT website. |
"This will give us the vital scientific data to judge how threats such as urban development, changes in farming practice and global climate change are affecting our native wildlife such as the songthrush and the bluebell.” |
