Interview with Charlotte Mead: The Wildwood Trust |
|  | The Wildwood Trust, established in 2002, is a leading UK conservation and rewilding trust who aim to push the boundaries of conservation and halt species extinction using nature-based solutions.
Wildwood Devon is home to numerous native bat species, and over the last two years, they have been working alongside Devon Bat Conservation and Research Group to create, assist and monitor secure bat roosting sites to support endangered bat populations. In mid-2023, NHBS donated 10 general-purpose bat boxes to support this project. A year later, we had the opportunity to talk to The Wildwood Trust about the results from their first annual species survey on this site, how our donation has aided the project's success, discuss their goals for the next five years and more. |
