Case studies demonstrating how we can recover landscapes in Herefordshire

Herefordshire Wildlife Trust is working with partners across the county and beyond to recover our landscapes for wildlife.
From supporting farmers to help nature, advising local community groups on their green spaces or restoring habitat features like ponds and orchards, we're doing all we can to restore nature.

Herefordshire is a beautiful county to explore on foot with myriad paths traversing its diverse landscapes. Our guided walks explore different habitats, landscapes and nature reserves, uncovering some hidden gems of Herefordshire.

We welcomed Wye valley Brewery as an Investor in Wildlife in 2022.

Our vision is for a Herefordshire richer and more diverse in wildlife, bringing its people closer to nature. We undertake projects which conserve and improve wildlife habitats, create 'Living Landscapes' and connect people of all ages with wildlife across the county.

The River Lugg is designated a Site of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI), and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) in its lower stretches, because of its conservation value. The River supports a range of wildlife including otter (Lutra lutra), Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), brook lamprey (Lampetra planeri), river lamprey (Lampetra fluviatilis) and water crowfoot (Ranunculus sp.). Furthermore, within the flood plain are the Lugg Meadows Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), nationally important floodplain meadows managed by Herefordshire Wildlife Trust and Plantlife.
