How we manage natural landscapes

Managing Natural Landscapes - Avon Wildlife Trust manages nature reserves across the region, and looks after other land in partnership with farmers and landowners. From the rolling hills and valleys of the Mendips and Cotswolds, to the sweep of the Severn Estuary and its low-lying wetlands, our region’s landscapes are inspiring, varied and beautiful. And we’re working hard to help wildlife thrive in ancient woodlands, open wildflower grassland and coastal wetlands across Avon.
