Gwent Wildlife Trust covers the area from the lower Wye to the Rhymney river valley in South East Wales. The Trust was set up in 1963 to purchase its first nature reserve, Magor Marsh and now has over 30 nature reserves.  Read the history of our first 40 years and download our Annual Review for 2007/08.

We are a registered charity and a member of the Wildlife Trusts Partnership, the largest voluntary organisation concerned with wildlife protection.  Please join us and help protect Gwent Wildlife!
