Working for Durham Wildlife Trust

Durham Wildlife Trust is a charity that was established in 1971 and operates across the area of the old County Durham, which today includes Darlington, Gateshead, South Tyneside and Sunderland.

It owns and manages more than 50 nature reserves located between the Tees and the Tyne, providing special places for people, for wildlife and for future generations. From ancient woodland and heathland to meadows, wetlands and more, the Trust looks after some of the North East’s most special places.

Today Durham Wildlife Trust continues to acquire new reserves, helping nature to recover across the landscape and bringing wildlife into the heart of our towns and cities.
