The Trust owns and manages over 70 nature reserves in Worcestershire. These are special places where wildlife can live safely. Together, these reserves cover about 2000 acres (which is about 8 square kilometers!). This is part of their big idea called "A Living Landscape for Worcestershire." This means they want to make sure there are lots of connected natural spaces where plants and animals can thrive. The Trust has almost 20,000 members who support their work. More than 350 volunteers also help out, doing everything from looking after reserves to helping with events.
