Wildlife Trusts Wales has received valuable funding from players of People’s Postcode Lottery which is distributed between the six local Wildlife Trusts in Wales. This enables them to continue delivering education opportunities and events for local communities and schools, as well as maintaining reserves and wildlife sites around the region, continuing our vital conservation work.
