6 Essex Wildlife Trust is the largest conservation charity in the county and one of the 47 county wildlife trusts that work together throughout the British Isles as The Wildlife Trusts. The Trust has been protecting Essex for wildlife and people since Without financial support from members and partners like you we would not be able to carry out our important conservation work, nor inspire the people of Essex to cherish their wildlife. The natural environment is no different from your business environment. It needs management, care, expertise, effort and it needs you.
