Vincent Wildlife Trust
Vincent Wildlife Trust (VWT) has been at the forefront of mammal conservation in Britain and Ireland for more than 40 years. The Trust’s work currently centres on some of the rarer bats, notably the horseshoe bats, together with a number of small carnivore species, including the pine marten, polecat and other members of the mustelid family. VWT’s innovative work has helped provide solutions to conservation issues locally and internationally.
