Directory of Nature Charities in Warwickshire
Warwickshire has a varied and increasingly connected natural environment, from ancient woodlands, meadows and farmland to rivers, wetlands, canals, former quarries and restored brownfield sites. The River Avon and its tributaries form important wildlife corridors, while places such as Brandon Marsh, Ryton Wood, the Princethorpe Woods and Warwickshire’s many Local Wildlife Sites provide valuable habitats for plants and animals across a largely agricultural landscape.
This directory brings together Warwickshire-based and Warwickshire-focused charities, conservation organisations, environmental partnerships, recording bodies, wildlife societies and specialist groups. It includes major county-wide organisations alongside bodies working on rivers, geology, biological recording, bats, mammals, birds, butterflies and other aspects of Warwickshire’s natural environment.
