Manx Wildlife Trust 50th Anniversary

About Manx Wildlife Trust 50th Anniversary

Manx Wildlife Trust (MWT) was founded in 1973 and is the Isle of Man’s leading nature conservation charity. Its members, staff and volunteers support MWT to protect Manx wildlife for the future by; driving the development of a nature recovery network across the IOM to create more places for wildlife, enabling nature to improve the wider IOM environment for all, and connecting people in the IOM strongly to nature and inspiring them to act eco-consciously for wildlife.

It all began in 1970, when Felicity Cain and Elizabeth Hamm wrote a rousing letter to the Isle of Man Examiner, calling on Island residents to do something in recognition of European Conservation Year. A meeting led to the formation of the Manx Nature Conservation Trust in March 1973. The first nature reserves were acquired a short time later: Barnell Reservoir in 1974 and Cooildarry in 1976.

Manx Wildlife Trust is a charity which means every penny raised is spent on delivering charitable work - nature conservation in the Isle of Man.
