Herefordshire Wildlife Trust’s vision is for more nature everywhere. Their goals are to put nature into recovery - we need 30% of all land, rivers and lakes in our county well managed for nature by 2030 – and to take action for nature, working with partners in Herefordshire’s communities, schools and businesses, inspiring them to take action too. Young Poets and budding writers can find out all sorts of inspiration for their writing on our website or follow us on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter for news, views and nature inspiration!
