Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust
Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust manages over 40 nature reserves covering nearly north of London, in Hertfordshire and the former county of Middlesex, which is now divided between the London boroughs of Barnet, Enfield, Harrow and Hillingdon. It has over 21,000 members, and is one of 47 Wildlife Trusts across the UK.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Home )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Find Your local Wildlife Trust )〕 It is a Registered Charity, with its Registered Office in St Albans, and had an income in the year to 31 March 2014 of over £1.5 million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Hertfordshire and Middlesex Wildlife Trust Limited: 2014 Annual Return and accounts )〕
The first preparatory meeting of what was to become the Trust was held on 16 November 1963, and the Hertfordshire & Middlesex Trust for Nature Conservation was incorporated on 9 October 1964. By 1970 it had twenty reserves and in the same year it took over management of its first Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Blagrove Common. In 1987 it changed its name to the Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust. In 2007 it purchased Amwell Quarry, and started restoration which has now made the site internationally important for its wetland birds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Timeline )〕
The Trust's activities include managing nature reserves, advising landowners on how to manage their land for wildlife, commenting on planning applications, advising planning authorities and campaigning to protect wildlife. The Trust also encourages people to be active volunteers helping to maintain nature reserves.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What we do )〕
Two of the Trust's nature reserves are Ramsar sites, internationally important wetland reserves, fifteen are Sites of Special Scientific Interest, and five are Local Nature Reserves. The first site was Fox Covert, donated by Mr Fordham of Letchworth on the Trust's foundation in 1964.〔 The largest is King's Meads, at ; this is water meadows where 265 wildflower species have been recorded, and it is an important site for over-wintering stonechats.〔 The smallest is Barkway Chalk Pit at ; its main interest is geological as it exposes a chalk face which is out of position, having been moved by the Anglian glaciation around 450,000 years ago.〔
