Ulster Wildlife Trust (operating as Ulster Wildlife), est. in 1978, is a local environmental charity which works to ensure that wildlife has a future in Northern Ireland. We work with local people to secure space for nature in our countryside, towns, coastlines and seas. Our work is guided by our two key themes of Living Landscapes and Living Seas and we have undertaken a broad range of environmental work from managing 18 nature reserves, working to conserve key species including barn owls, red squirrels and sharks, skates and rays, protecting key habitats including peatlands and wetlands and campaigning for Marine Protected Areas as well as inspiring people to appreciate and enjoy the nature and wildlife around them through education and youth engagement activities.
As a charity, we are indebted to the financial support from our passionate members, donors and corporate partners, alongside grant bodies and other funding sources as well as the time, effort and expertise of our volunteers. Our vision is for a healthy, well cared for natural environment which contributes to enjoyment, quality of life, prosperity, health and well-being. All our work is aligned with our strategic goals to:
• Inspire people to champion wildlife and value nature
• Protect and restore habitats and ecosystems through practical action and research
• Stand up for nature by influencing government policy
• Promote health and well-being through enjoyment of the natural environment
• Grow our success and extend our reach
Ulster Wildlife is one of 46 Wildlife Trusts across the UK. The Wildlife Trusts partnership is the largest UK voluntary movement dedicated to protecting native habitats and species. Although the 46 Trusts are part of this national collective, each individual Trust is a wholly independent entity.
