The Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust is the Gloucestershire local partner in a conservation network of 47 Wildlife Trusts. The Wildlife Trusts are local charities with the specific aim of protecting the United Kingdom's natural heritage. The Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust is managed by a Board of Trustees elected from its membership who provide overall direction for the development of the Trust and there are Advisory Committees. The work of the trust is carried out through staff and volunteers. ==History== The Trust was founded in 1961 and was then named the Gloucestershire Trust for Nature Conservation.〔Annual Reports of the Gloucestershire Trust for Nature Conservation and Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, ''Wildlife News'' (Trust magazine) and the (Trust website )〕 Founder members included Sir Peter Scott and a group of other local people with the shared interest of nature conservation.
