Your local Wildlife Trust would be your best point of contact to help with any membership queries and the contact details for all 46 Wildlife Trusts can be found by following the below link and entering your postcode or town:

Parents will not abandon baby birds because they have been touched by humans. In most cases, a baby bird should be left alone; wildlife rescue organisations take in thousands of baby birds yearly, which while being well-intentioned rescue efforts are often more damaging than helpful. The page below will help advise you on whether you should try to help a baby bird, what to do, and who to contact if you come across one. The Wildlife Trusts do not offer a general service for care and rehabilitation of wildlife, although some individual Trusts may offer local services.

The UK is home to one native hornet, the European hornet. Please see the page below for how to tell these apart from invasive Asian hornets (sightings of which should be reported).

When this happens, we want to hear about it, in order to deal with the situation as quickly as possible and put measures in place to stop it happening again.

We do not allow field sports on our nature reserves except in rare instances where other people control the shooting or fishing rights. Neither do we allow hunting with dogs on our nature reserves.

Campaigning against field sports on animal welfare grounds would not be within our charitable remit. We do, however, raise concerns and sometimes oppose aspects of field sports in the wider countryside where they have a damaging impact on the conservation of populations of animals, wild plants, or fragile habitats. As a conservation charity our ideal is for such habitats not just to be preserved but to be managed expressly for wildlife. We work pragmatically to achieve as much wildlife conservation benefit as we can in each different situation.
