It is no exaggeration to say
we helped create the modern
conservation movement. Our
founder Sir Peter Scott’s vision
for WWT was that conservation
should be as much about people
as about wildlife. We’ve been
making that a reality for nearly 70
years but there is still so much
more we need to do.
We work with communities in
the UK and around the world
to create and protect wetland
habitats to provide water, food
and shelter for people and
wildlife. We save species around
the world from extinction; our
UK Wetland Centres inspire
thousands of visitors to enjoy
being close to nature.
WWT has nine Wetland Centres
located in England, Wales,
Scotland and Northern Ireland.
We manage more than 3,000
hectares of wetlands across the
UK that between them support
over 200,000 water birds. They
enable people to get close to
amazing wildlife spectacles.
